Compelled by the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the tradition of reformed theology, and our experiences of God's grace, we boldly and publicly proclaim:

We gather together to Worship.  We gather as a community, recognizing that the reading, hearing, preaching, and confessing of the Word is central to our worship.  We are drawn together to praise God and to pray, to center and to listen, searching for God's Word, challenged by the Gospel.

We are committed to a circle that is wide and unbroken, and declare that all who desire to join with us will be welcomed and respected.  We resolve to follow Christ's model of perfect love in tearing down barriers, erected by society and the church, that exclude rather than include.

We wrestle with and nurture the tensions that arise from our differences, and we celebrate our shared faith.  We struggle to see each other as God sees every human being: equally loved and valued.  We express the reality of that tension through both tradition and innovation in our worship and music as we joyfully celebrate our faith.

We are a learning community.  We offer opportunities for growth and knowledge for all ages through which we encounter God's revealed Word.

We support each other in our struggles to learn and practice what it means to live the Gospel in our individual and collective lives.  We foster a safe atmosphere where doubting and questioning, thinking and challenging are seen as fundamental elements of the faith experience.

We are open to the moving of the Spirit and open to change in ourselves and in our community.  We believe in God's continuing revelation, even when we are nudged out of our place of comfort.

We see service to the greater community and to the world as an essential part of the life of the church.
