Our Covenant
| We strive to be a joyful, welcoming Christian community. |
| We seek to be faithful in a world torn by suffering,
injustice, oppression, and war. |
| We are inspired by God, Christ's ministry, and the
examples of other faithful people. |
| We join together in worship and song, fellowship,
study, and mission, to embrace the risks and challenges of continuing
Christ's ministry. |
| We struggle to live out our faith in the world by
furthering justice and peace, witnessing to the truth, and proclaiming
God's love and mercy for all people. |
In 2000 the Church added this statement:
|
As a covenant community we are committed to the belief
that all people are created equal before God. |
In affirmation of the inclusive love of Christ Jesus,
we welcome persons of any race, gender, age, sexual orientation,
ability and economic circumstance to full participation in our community
life and ministry. |
We strive to reflect these beliefs in the language
and content of our worship and in our lives together. |
