                                                                        SENT…
CALLED through the Gospel to be a nurturing, dynamic community, celebrating God’s presence in our lives, and sharing with all, God’s abundant grace in Jesus Christ.
EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit, grounded in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we seek to listen, trust and boldly act on God’s message as individuals and as a fellowship of believers.
SENT as a community of faith, we:
  1. Believe that through God’s grace all are loved and forgiven
  2. Welcome, include, and respect all of God’s children
  3. Nurture our members’ spiritual growth in order to live the Gospel
  4. Minister compassionately to each other in our individual brokenness
  5. Assist each other in identifying and sharing our unique gifts
  6. Share God’s abounding love with innovation, while honoring our tradition
  7. Serve the needs of our church and the greater community
