- We are a church whose unity is in Jesus Christ, who gathers us around word and water, wine and bread.
- We are a church that believes Jesus is God’s “Yes” to us. Our lives can be a “Yes” to others.
- We are a church that believes God is calling us into the world – together.
- We are a church that rolls up our sleeves and gets to work.
- We are a church that is a catalyst, convener and bridge builder.
- We are a church that is energized by lively engagement in our faith and life.
- We are a church that is deeply rooted – and always being made new.
