Our Core Values. . . We believe in the Triune God – Creator, Christ, and Holy Spirit – and we affirm our Wesleyan heritage which links us to past and future generations and guides our Christ-centered worship and distinctive approach to: Nurture – We encourage spiritual growth in both personal and social holiness, shepherding new members and offering a disciplined faith for all through scripture, tradition, experience, and reason. We are particularly challenged to better connect children and youth to the church culture which offers love and hope in a safe environment. We seek health and healing in the faith community which is centered in mind/body/spirit wholeness. Outreach – We hold out hope to the hopeless through participation in a variety of community, national and global mission programs. We renew a long-standing commitment to education through our pre-school and daycare. And we accept in sacred trust our stewardship of the earth. Witness – We celebrate and invite diversity in the church and are committed to becoming a welcoming congregation of open minds, open hearts and open doors. Toward this end, we desire to model the integrity that Jesus taught and exemplified, and to share Christ with others.
