Theological Affirmation:
We believe that God is at work in creation and society to renew and unite all things, bringing abundant life. In the life, teaching, actions, death and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth we see God most clearly. Jesus brings in the kingdom of God which is the manifestation of God’s purposes of restoration, turning creation right-side-up. The Holy Spirit is God at work today in our lives and in the world, creating new communities of love and justice.
We believe that the church, with all its imperfections and failings, is called to be a sign and agent of God’s renewal. The church is called to worship, witness and serve as a fellowship of the Spirit. In worship, we celebrate who God is and what God does, and are ourselves renewed for witness and service. In witness, we proclaim who God is by our words and actions. In service, we demonstrate God’s inclusive, compassionate love in practical action.
Having prayerfully discerned God’s call on this congregation, we commit ourselves to the following.
