Because God first loves us and all the world, we are called to respond by sharing our gifts.

Our response is to help meet the needs of God's people by offering:

--a spiritual sanctuary,

--an open, worshipping congregation,

--a center for education,

--a place of healing, and

--a model for reconciliation.

Following Christ's example, we willingly:

--share our vision,

--nurture and support ourselves and others,

--take risks, and

--struggle for justice.
