As a congregation we have discerned these Core Values to be the guiding principles we exclaim to the world as followers of Jesus Christ. Our mission statement declares our desire to be “A joyful, learning community eager to live and share the peaceable way of Jesus.” We journey together as Brothers and Sisters in Christ to bring healing and hope to a broken world. We invite you to join us on this journey!

GIFTS DISCERNMENT We acknowledge that each member of Christ's body has been endowed with unique gifts and abilities. We commit to support one another in the discovery of individual gifts, and to equip and empower each other. We expect members to share their gifts for ministry and service in and beyond our fellowship.

HOSPITALITY/MISSION Having been welcomed into the embrace of God’s community, we proclaim God’s love and grace. We enthusiastically invite and welcome friends and neighbors to God’s banquet here and around the world.

LEARNING COMMUNITY As a vibrant learning community, comprised of members and neighbors of all ages, we eagerly embrace learning about God’s creation through a wide variety of experiences from sermons to service. We honor those among us with a special love for teaching reminiscent of the rabbi Jesus from Galilee.

PASTORAL CARE We are a community that practices mutual care. We help individuals and families discover the ways in which God's Spirit shapes the human spirit in the varied life transitions of joys and sorrows, successes and losses.

PEACE/JUSTICE/RECONCILIATION Captivated by God’s vision of peace, we speak the truth in love. True to Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition we renounce violence and do the hard work of forgiveness and seek understanding in our homes, work, neighborhoods and the world.

SCRIPTURE Like generations of Christians before us we consistently turn to the scriptures as our foundational story. Here we enter the conversation of who God is and what God is up to. Captivated by the vision of God’s New Kingdom, we lend our hearts, voices, and hands, to this endeavor. We anticipate further surprises on the journey. New songs will yet arise.

STEWARDSHIP As recipients of God’s extravagance we are joyful stewards of the Gospel, the environment, our time, our talents, our money, our health and our relationships.

WORSHIP Repeatedly overwhelmed by God’s holy love we respond in silence and awe, word and music, joy and lament, in regular, renewing worship.

PRAYER We believe in the power of prayer. God hears our prayers, and answers, at times in powerful ways, and at times in ways that we do not understand. We acknowledge that we do not always listen carefully enough to hear God’s voice.
