Purposeful Searching – Some of us have grown up in the Christian faith, and some of us have not. Many of us are re-learning the faith after life has raised important questions and other Christians have provided well intentioned but insufficient answers. All of us are searching for meaning and relevance in our lives. We want to accompany one another on a purposeful exploration of Christian faith and practice that shapes our lives and our world.

Risk-Taking Mission – We open ourselves to potential discomfort because God calls us to serve others in the name of Christ for no other reason than that God loves us all. Mission is taking action that expresses our faith; therefore, mission looks differently depending upon each person and one’s place in one’s walk of faith. Recognizing this, we celebrate each act of mission while encouraging every member to consider ever more challenging acts of mission (i.e., sharing the grace of Christ, attending a Bible Study, joining a mission team).

Traditioned Innovation – We embrace our Wesleyan heritage of belief and practice, while also continuing the Methodist insistence that faith impacts the real world. To this end, we stay true to our heritage while innovating how we practice our faith; in ways of gathering, avenues of study, means of communication and opportunities for Christian service.
