Mission Statement

"DO JUSTICE, LOVE KINDNESS AND WALK HUMBLY WITH OUR GOD"

Micah 6:8
 

Our mission is a joyful response, both individually and in community, to God's gracious invitation to a new and redeemed life.
We seek to nurture this response through prayer, worship, education, and outreach.
We are pledged to be champions of the poor and oppressed, advocates for the victims of injustice, stewards of the world’s blessings and resources, and messengers of reconciliation to all people.
Our mission is undertaken in the certain hope and absolute faith that God's love is ongoing and unending.
    

   - Sharing God's love: caring through action.
