God is love, and God has created all things in love and for love.

God exists in loving community as Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer, drawing us into relationship with God, one another, and the world.

We read the Bible through the lens of the Gospel, God's good news for all people.

The Bible is the inspired witness of God's people throughout history.

The Bible is true primarily in the sense that it truly points to Jesus, the Truth, who is the Word of God incarnate.

While God speaks to us through the written word, Jesus is the Living Word.

In each and every role of life-- friend, employee, family member, student, citizen, and neighbor-- we are called to be about God's mission, revealing the Kingdom of God, proclaiming the Gospel, and partnering with God in the work of reconciliation.

Empowered and guided by the Holy Spirit, we are called to love, worship and glorify God, and proclaim God's love and forgiveness in word and deed.
