We recognize the presence of God....

• in all creation,


• in Jesus of Nazareth, in whose humaness the sacredness and worth of every person is affirmed,


• in our world and through Christ's Church to bring wholeness of life to persons as well as harmony and peace to all of creation.

Any person who professes the Christian faith may be received into membership. We also provide an associate membership for those who wish to maintain their original membership in another church.
