Love First
God loves us first, so we put love first.

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.

Grace-Powered
We live free and emboldened by God’s grace.

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.

Foster Belonging
God calls us to be a community that excludes no one.

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.

Hope, Help, and Healing
We share a word of hope, a heart to help, and a power to heal.

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.
