Statement of
Basic Beliefs
and Core Values
We believe God creates all people, offering each one of us abundant gifts and a love that knows no end. As
followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to live in this world and not withdraw from it, reflecting God's love to others.
We share the earth with many and our lives are bound together with theirs. Guided by the wisdom of Scripture, prayer
and the movement of the Holy Spirit we seek to live in community, caring for each other and for all of God's creation.
We welcome, celebrate and
give thanks for the diversity among us.
All people are respected and treasured for their varied life stages, marital
statuses, physical and mental abilities, gender identities, races, sexual orientations, economic diversity and cultural backgrounds.
The worship, ministries, services and leadership of this congregation are open to all as
we continually grow in faith.
It is here in this world, in the midst of our ordinary and extraordinary moments, that we find God's grace, comfort
and joy.

PERSONALITY PROFILE
I AM THE UCC ...
My roots go back 2,000 years, but I am very much now
and today.
Instead, I embrace modern intelligent thinking:
Acceptance.
Inclusiveness.
Justice.
I can even be lighthearted. My open-armed approach is
appealing to people
of all races and lifestyles. Which
might explain why my congregations are diverse
and
unique.
Another funny thing happens when you're less judgmental.
You allow people to search, discover and flourish. My
friends come to me to seek their own answers, look
inside themselves and explore their
spiritual lives.
In the end, my personality is reflective of Christ's.
Open.
Embracing.
Nurturing.
And eternally relevant.
