A CHURCH that embodies the love and grace of God, that seeks to worship God in a spirit that is reverent and joyful, uses its resources and gifts to make known the good news of Jesus Christ, and strives in all things to live for the honor and glory of God.
A CONGREGATION that is continually shaped by the Word of God, committed to the practice of prayer, upheld by networks of loving relationships, trusting God with its dreams as well as its needs, determined to create bridges of care and help to hurting and needing people, and striving to be a family of faith where no one is a stranger and where all are welcome.
A COMMUNITY that declares in new and fresh ways the unchanging truths of God to a world constantly in change, offers hope where there is despair, courage where there is fear, light where there is darkness, faith where there are questions without answers, that accepts God's call into service, living out His love through the power of God's Spirit, and proclaims joyfully the promise of salvation and new life through Jesus Christ to all the world.
