The guiding purpose of our church is to serve God. To serve God, we serve others—caring for those in need; the hungry, the sick, the disenfranchised; caring also for one another in the church and in the world. We intend that our loving service might deepen our understanding of our spiritual lives and direct all our work, worship, education, fellowship, and outreach. We affirm as Christians the values of equality and diversity of all humans. We are a loving caring Christian family joined in faith with the larger family of God. We believe, embrace, and live the UCC philosophy of “whoever you are and wherever you are on life’s journey you are welcome here”! This includes all peoples of God, regardless of age, race, social background, gender/gender identity or sexual orientation.
