What We Value

Leaning on our Methodist roots, we are a community that begins with grace, and values practical theology over doctrine. We’re interested in living toward greater love and justice. We are a church that is open & affirming – comprising people of different races, ages, cultures, gender identities, sexualities, and religious backgrounds. We value our diversity.

In May 2018, our Church Council voted to officially become a reconciling church as a way of cementing our historic and continuing commitments to the LGBTQI+ community.

In June 2020 our Church council made this statement, in response to George Floyd’s murder and in affirmation of our belief that Black Lives Matter.
In March 2021, our Church Council, Social Justice Initiative leaders and pastoral staff made a statement of acknowledgement of violence against the Asian American Pacific Islander community, and in commitment to work against this racism.
