We believe there's enough for everyone
Enough grace.
We receive grace through God’s unconditional love. We in turn, share this grace in our faith community, through acts of service, and in a call to work for justice in all of creation.
Enough space.
There is room to grow and be transformed. We affirm that faith evolves, so we make space for questions, skepticism and doubt.
Enough courage.
We have the audacity to believe that we are here for a reason. We gather with boldness. We are sent out with purpose. We courageously share the hope within us.
Enough hope.
Through times of both hardship and celebration we have found hope in God. We stand ready to share this hope with a hurting world. We are eager to be a part of true equity, inclusion for all, and restitution for past failures.
Enough to share.
We affirm that each person, created in God’s image, has valuable gifts to offer. We empower one another to share the love of God in unique and meaningful ways. We encourage, nurture, and celebrate generosity in all forms.
Enough, and then some.
We extend this invitation to all. We open our doors to creative expressions of worship, radical acts of hospitality, and faith-filled endeavors toward love of neighbor.
We're the church together.
One of the congregation’s beloved songs includes the phrase, “Come as you are.” Extravagant welcome and God’s unconditional grace are at the center of our life together.
Our LGBTQIA+ siblings are welcomed into our shared journey, as a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) congregation. We're invested in this community and are part of the larger Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA.)

Mission Statement
We are called and transformed to create a world of abundance.
Welcome Statement
We are a community whose members differ in age, ethnicity, social status, and vocation. Our journeys in life often look very different on the surface. But we believe that God's love changes everything—for everybody. Our faith tradition is based on a life-transforming story that is both ancient and timely. It is a story of a powerful and patient God who has boundless love for all people in the world. It is a story of Jesus Christ changing lives. It is a story that brings comfort and strength to all people today.
We believe all people share the worth that comes from being loved and forgiven children of God. We want it to be known that we welcome all people—regardless of race, age, culture, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation, family status, marital status, gender identity, physical or cognitive ability, or economic condition—into the life-transforming story of Jesus Christ at this congregation.

Racial Justice Statement
We … renew our baptismal covenant to strive for justice for all of God’s children. We confess that our cultural bias blocks us from recognizing racial injustice, and that our fear slows our work towards racial equity. We believe that we must identify the inequalities that are embedded in our judicial, educational, economic, and political systems. We also must be resolved to change them, even if it means losing unearned privileges.
We accept God’s call to affirm and celebrate the diversity found in God’s children. We pray that the Holy Spirit will lead us in our continuing work as we listen and engage in conversation challenging the deep roots of racism. With the help of the Holy Spirit, we will be respectful and keep people engaged so that each of our stories may be heard and lead us to a true change of heart.

What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8b (NRSV)
