Our faith is 2000 Years old but our thinking is not.

  • Because of our belief in a continuing testament, we are attentive to God's creative movement in the world...
  • We arrive early on issues of social justice, as evidenced by courageous "firsts" for racial justice, equality for women, and inclusion of gay and lesbian people.
  • We prepare leaders who are open to and prepared for ministry in the present and future church.
  • We train leaders who grow spiritually, who build up the church, and put their faith into action.
  • We embrace and equip new kinds of congregations and new modes of leadership.

No matter who you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here.

  • Because we believe in extravagant welcome, we insist that God's table is open, not closed, and God's gift and claim in baptism are irrevocable…
  • We demonstrate this through public professions of our identity/purpose: multi-racial, multi-cultural, open and affirming, accessible to all.
  • We advocate justice for all as an extension and expression of faith.
  • We are open to new ways of being church and forming Christian community.
  • We affirm that cultural differences expand our ability to welcome more people.
  • We strive to keep our perspective global in our partnership with people of faith around the world.

Never place a period where God has placed a comma.

  • Because we believe in transformation, we believe the church's mission is changing lives - individually, systemically and globally...
  • We support, encourage and uplift local churches where lives are being changed through worship, education, fellowship, mission, and justice advocacy.
  • We identify, recruit, educate and support leaders who inspire others.
  • We support churches and plant new churches as vital places of worship, learning, and justice advocacy.
  • We change lives through our global partnerships, missionaries and advocacy.

Thank you for your partnership. Together we are changing lives!
