Prayer
Not only is prayer a spiritual discipline, it is a gift. Prayer helps us connect to God and His will, and helps strengthen the bonds of Christian community as we pray with and for each other.
Presence
The opportunity for presence is an invitation to be exposed to the teachings of Christ and the Church. This exposure impacts and shapes our values, our priorities, our desires, our expectations, and our life direction. When we gather together, we are stronger than when we are apart.
Gifts
Gifts present us with the challenge of investing in something bigger than ourselves. We take these gifts and connect them with what others give, and create something good that will honor and glorify God.
Service
As part of the community of the new covenant with Jesus Christ, we reach out with Christian love and compassion to meet human needs locally, nationally and globally. We’ve been able to feed our local unhoused friends, help children in Bolivia and Cambodia and help travelers find their way home.
Witness
As part of the community of the new covenant with Jesus Christ, we witness in word and deed about the good things that God has done in our lives.
The Apostles Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord:
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
the third day he rose from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic* church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
