We trust in God, who is known in the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament of the Christian Bible and was revealed in the person of Jesus.

We see God continue to act in the world through prayer, compassion, forgiveness, transformation, and redemption.

We affirm the historicity of Jesus, the universality of Christ, the incarnational love of God for all creation and all persons, and the hope proclaimed in the Gospels.

We respect the Bible as a Holy, sacred text, God-breathed and human-written, providing reliable guidance for our lives.

We read both books given by God to humanity: the book of God’s Words (the Bible) and the book of God’s Works (the natural world).

We recognize that science is an important human endeavor and that its methods are reliable for describing God’s world. We find that an evolutionary understanding of God’s creation is deeply faithful and biblically consistent.

We respect persons of all faiths and no faith and honor the common journey of all humankind, especially the search for transcendence, meaning, and purpose. We see all persons as beloved children of God. We welcome all to this site.
