Our Values

	Believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the heart of our ministry, and that Jesus brings unity to our rich diversity. We trust in Jesus Christ alone for God's free gifts of life, forgiveness, and salvation and we believe that the Bible is our standard and norm for our life together;
	Believe that every believer is a minister, called to serve others and we actively share the Gospel (the "Good News") of Jesus Christ by word and deed throughout our community and the world, and we actively work with other Christians so that the whole Church of Jesus Christ grows in faith and love;
	Believe that worship celebrates the Triune God and utilizes the music and the language of both our Christian heritage and our contemporary expressions and we joyfully share in the "means of grace," God's Word and Sacraments, by which the Holy Spirit strengthens our Christian walk;
	Responsibly care for all the resources that God has place at our disposal so that we honor Him
