Where we stand
What we believe about theology and policy.
What we believe
GOD
We believe that God is a loving God who made the human being in God’s image. Therefore, all people are of intrinsic value and loved by God.
jesus
In Christ, the head of the church, God conquers sin & reconciles the world to Divine Love. We believe in God, and we follow Jesus.
holy spirit
God’s continuing presence and activity in the world.
Trinity
God, Christ, Holy Spirit
are one.
church
A community of people united in Christ through worship, work, and witness–not a building.
Bible
The inspired Word of God. We take the scripture too seriously to take it literally.
service to others
The mission of the Church is work for justice and to establish God’s Realm in the world.
baptism
Through baptism, we are joined in faith with Jesus and accepted into the fellowship of the Church.
the lord’s supper
The breaking of bread and sharing of cup are done in remembrance of Christ’s death and resurrection.
faith
Faith isn’t about not asking questions. It’s asking questions, doubting, believing, and trusting. It’s messy. It’s hard. It’s worth it.
hope
Our hope is in the saving grace of Jesus Christ, who in the fullness of time will make all things right. It’s our call to be his hands and feet in the world.
justice
We believe justice is a sign of God’s work in the world. We are called to work toward it.
Where we stand
god loves queer people
LGBTQ+ folks belong–in the pews, the pulpit, and in policy
faith supports reproductive justice
Jesus never shamed a woman for her choices–neither should we.
anti-racism is gospel work
Jesus flipped tables. You can call out injustice.
protect the planet. IT’s God’s.
Creation isn’t a commodity–it’s sacred.
Justice is economic, too
Poverty isn’t a personal failure. It’s a policy choice.
jesus was a refugee
Welcoming immigrants isn’t just politics. It’s discipleship.
faith > firearms
We worship the Prince of Peace–not the Second Amendment.
healing is holy
Jesus didn’t charge co-pays. Healthcare is a human right.
voting is sacred
Suppressing the vote is sin. Period.
faith > firearms
Faith should guide compassion, not control policy.
restorative justice
God’s justice heals. Our systems should, too.
Religious Freedom is Freedom for All
Not just Christians.
