MISSION AND VISION
Invite, support, encounter
We invite people into relationship, to share their giftedness from God, and to share their gifts for service and leadership. We welcome and act in love with all people wherever they are in their journey of faith. We embrace the diversity of each person, knowing that we each are uniquely created as a child of God. We recognize the complexities, divisiveness and loneliness of our current society and seek that all people would know and experience God’s love.
