Jesus’ love is our foundation, and Jesus’ teachings are our guide. Jesus teaches us to love, accept, forgive, and serve. We know ourselves to be loved, accepted, forgiven, and served through Jesus Christ.
God’s grace is a gift to all, available to all. God graciously provides all that we need, even before we know that we need it. Through grace, God offers everyone the gift of forgiveness. By God’s grace, we are free and ready to live as God wants us to live – as holy persons in sacred community, nurtured by God, in service to God and others, and open to all.
God longs for a relationship with everyone. We don’t have to be alone because God brings us together. This is a place to belong and to be accepted.
Our hope is in Jesus’s promise of a world in which all receive equitable treatment and none are left out. We work with God to help and to heal the least, the lost, and the oppressed until God’s redemptive work is complete.
