| Church in Society
Statement of Faith
We covenant with God and with each other to be
a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and the United
Church of Christ. Grateful for our particular traditions within
the larger body of Christ, we are working for a coming church that
will be truly catholic, truly reformed, and truly evangelical. We
are open to and affirming of all people of faith, regardless of
race, gender, age, class, ability, or sexual orientation. We will
order our common life according to the insights of the Gospel as
we have received it through the witness of scripture and church
tradition, and as we experience its unfolding truth in our time.
We seek to be a reconciling and caring community working for the
liberation of all persons and striving to foster among everyone
patterns of individual and corporate responsibility. In our coming
and going together, we will dedicate our efforts to increase the
love of God and neighbor among men, women and children.
