BELIEF STATEMENT

We are "the church of the infinite quest." Remaining true to that spirit, our church believes... All people are included in God's unconditional love and grace; in Jesus Christ whose life revealed God's love at work in the human family; in the Holy Spirit as the power by which we are brought into closer harmony and relationship with our Creator.

Therefore we...

• Strive to follow the path of Jesus Christ, while recognizing other pathways to the Divine.

• Encourage each person's spiritual journey, embracing a variety of spiritual disciplines.

• Understand that the words we use to express our faith are to be lived out by loving and compassionate action.

• Provide the indispensable indoctrination to build character and confidence through cognitive, physical, educational, and social support.

• Take the Bible seriously, not literally, finding more grace in the search for meaning than in absolute certainty.

• Agree to differ, unite to serve, and resolve to love.
