The Parish is made up of two congregations that shares a living, daring confidence in God’s
grace. Liberated by our faith, we embrace you as a whole person — questions,
complexities and all. We are all God’s children. We understand that we are to
continually deepen our relationship with God, through Jesus Christ, and sustained
by the Holy Spirit. Click to reach the Facebook page.
As a sacramental community, we take very seriously our Lord’s example – God’s love is not meant just for some, it is for everyone. During Jesus’ earthly ministry, he welcomed all, including those who were excluded and who others turned their back on. We are called to do the same and to look beyond exclusion to inclusion. It does not matter your background, including your faith background. All are welcome.
We are a dynamic, sacramental community dedicated to living out the implications of Jesus’ love. But what does this mean?
Dynamic – As Christians, we recognize our call to live and
love intentionally in the world. Because God first loved us, we are called share God’s love.
Sacramental – We see God in the world. Jesus Christ, our Messiah, is fully human and fully God. We believe and share in that oneness of spirit and world most strongly in the Eucharist (communion) and in our baptism.
Community – We believe that we cannot be a Christian alone,
for it is being part of a community of faith that sustains us. We are
part of the church universal, which makes us all part of the Body of
Christ. We look to each other – our brothers and sisters in Christ – to
support us in times of trial and to celebrate with us in moments of joy.
We try to follow our Lord’s example. God’s love is meant for everyone. We work to extend our community to those in need, the homeless, the unemployed, and those who are suffering.
We recognize that there are no simple answers in life. Our 21st century faith calls us to reject simple clichés and stereotypes while seeking a meaningful role for all people of God in today’s world.
