What we believe
As a Christian congregation, we seek to serve our community through care, friendship and support. We invite you to be a part of our congregation which welcomes all ages, faith backgrounds, and orientations into a supportive, kind, and giving community.
A New Creed
We are not alone,
we live in God’s world.
We believe in God:
who has created and is creating,
who has come in Jesus,
the Word made flesh,
to reconcile and make new,
who works in us and others
by the Spirit.
We trust in God.
We are called to be the Church:
to celebrate God’s presence,
to live with respect in Creation,
to love and serve others,
to seek justice and resist evil,
to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,
our judge and our hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death,
God is with us.
We are not alone.
Thanks be to God.

An overview of our beliefs
Faith and the Bible
The Bible is the shared standard for our faith, but members are not required to adhere to any particular creed or formulation of doctrine.
Baptism and Communion
The United Church celebrates two sacraments—baptism and communion—by which we encounter the presence and goodness of God.
Marriage
Each person is a unique, loved creation of God; we welcome all people to the full life of Christian community, including marriage.
Relationship and Inclusion
Respectful of the religious practice of all people of goodwill, we are a welcoming church that is challenged to ongoing renewal.
Social Justice
Following the example of Jesus, we believe that we strengthen one another to work, through God's grace, for a better world.
Giving, Generosity, and Gratitude
God’s endless generosity to us encourages our own response to contribute in many ways to God’s mission in God’s world.
