A Place for You
A key part of the spiritual journey is discovering where you belong. Along the way you may decide to make a formal commitment to a community of faith by becoming a member.
What does membership involve?
Membership involves regular participation in the life of the church and offering input in communal decision-making, which we refer to as discernment. It requires an openness of heart and mind, the asking of good questions, and seeking personal growth. It also includes giving of your time, talent and financial resources.
It is another step on the path of following in the way of Jesus.

A New Creed
A New Creed is a brief and well-loved affirmation of faith used widely in our worship (1968; rev. 1980, 1995).
We are not alone,
we live in God’s world.
We believe in God:
who has created and is creating,
who has come in Jesus,
the Word made flesh,
to reconcile and make new,
who works in us and others
by the Spirit.
We trust in God.
We are called to be the Church:
to celebrate God’s presence,
to live with respect in Creation,
to love and serve others,
to seek justice and resist evil,
to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,
our judge and our hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death,
God is with us.
We are not alone.
Thanks be to God.
