EXPLORE
Mission & Vision


As people of an historic and ever-renewing congregation of the United Church of Christ, we seek to know and to share the transforming power of God: Creator, Christ and Holy Spirit,
  • through following the teachings of Jesus Christ, the source of our salvation and the head of the Church;

  • through regularly gathering together for vital, Biblically-based worship of our God;

  • through shared life and learning as a community of faith;

  • through personal spiritual practice;

  • through faithful stewardship of our resources: financial, property, and human;

  • through Spirit-led, collaborative decision-making;

  • through love and service to those in need, physically and spiritually;

  • through love and respect for one another;

  • through the full discernment and expression of our God-given individual abilities;

  • through embracing, honoring, encouraging, and learning from the diversity among us;

  • through active engagement with our city and all its people; and

  • through accepting God’s challenge to look beyond our assumptions, to face boldly our questions and doubts, and to reach outside of our every-day comforts.


  • With God’s help, we strive in faith to be a wellspring of hope for diverse people in our neighborhood, the city, the region and throughout the world.
