We care about each other.

Our relationships are an essential part of our spirituality and worship.

We don't have all the answers.

As Madeline L’Engle wrote: “generally, what is more important than getting water-tight answers is learning to ask the right questions;” we view questions as an avenue to God.

Our worship is ordered, but not stale.

The Book of Common Prayer serves as a beautiful framework for our worship, encouraging authentic interaction with God and each other.

We experience the boundless grace of God.

We bring our messy problems, doubts, and fears to God; in return, we receive immeasurable acceptance, forgiveness, and love. Thanks be to God!
