WHO WE ARE

We are a noisy and spirited community seeking to follow Jesus’ example of radical love. Chiefly, we do this by opening our hearts and lives in a welcome that knows no bounds or restrictions. In this we have found a vision of the Kingdom of God: healing and joy bursting into a hurting world.

Our life together tends to be flexible and informal, rather than highly programmatic. New things come and old things sometimes go as the community grows and changes. What remains is our love for this place, our love for the God who created all things, and our desire to share what we have found with everyone we meet.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

The Episcopal Church welcomes and celebrates the ministries of all people, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, marital status, social class or age.

We are grounded in what we call the “via media”: the middle way between extremes. Rather than telling people what to believe, we provide safe places for questions and struggles of faith. Consequently, our unity comes from worshipping together, not agreeing with each other. Our character is deeply based in our ability to include a diversity of perspectives.

The Bible is the foundation of our faith, and the sacred stories shape all that we do. However, we do not interpret the Bible literally. We see it as a living text, through which God continues to speak to us. Informed by our tradition, reason and experience, our understanding of scripture continually evolves, expanding and changing as our experience of the world expands and changes.

Our common life is fed by the two central sacraments of Eucharist and Baptism: signs to remind us of God’s grace. Through bread, wine and water, we experience God’s presence in the stuff of everyday life.
