We live the love of Jesus Christ through our passion for social justice. We want to change the world. We do this through hands-on service locally and globally; by being advocates on issues and on behalf of those with less power in our society; and through financial support of organizations that advance justice and serve the disadvantaged.
Our explicit welcome to all people of any sexual orientation or gender identity is a stand against some national denominational policies that discriminate. We have won recognition for our efforts to care for creation through responsible environmental stewardship.
We also have a passion for growing in faith, which is visible in our vibrant worship services, numerous and frequent opportunities for study, and faith-deepening small groups. In these ways, we teach the love of Jesus Christ. This is a Christian church that enthusiastically welcomes doubts, questions, and diverse interpretations.
