We greet each other with handshakes, humor, and hugs in a sanctuary of belonging and connection. We seek truth, understanding, and authenticity in our relationships with God, ourselves, and each other. We celebrate sacred space, music, service, creativity, play, and food prepared and shared as expressions of God’s love. We cultivate carrots, curiosity, and healing of body and spirit. We honor the generations by guarding spaces for ancient tradition and new expressions of faith, with plenty of room for canes and for strollers.

We believe in God’s sufficiency in our hearts, our families, and our community."
