OUR CORE VALUES, ROOTED IN LOVE
Faith – We live, grow and share faith in God as revealed in Jesus Christ: faith that feeds the heart and soul.
Connecting – We joyfully connect with God, one another and community in ways that nurture belonging, communion and a sense of purpose.
Caring – We lovingly care for one another and the community spiritually, physically, and relationally.
Generosity – We generously give energy, time, talent and treasure for the good of others out of gratitude for God’s gifts.
Respect – We respect God, humanity and all creation in ways that embrace unity in diversity.
APPROACH TO MINISTRY
We invite people to enter into and deepen their relationship with God as disciples of Jesus Christ in the context of a vibrant, healthy community of faith. We nurture individuals as they grow in their relationship with God and one another within a small group ministry and through the discipleship practices of regular prayer, worship, scripture reading/study, service, spiritual friendships, and giving. In this we embody the spectrum of the 5 marks of the church: worship, teaching and learning, sharing our faith, building loving relationships, and service.
What We Believe
As a Christ-centered community of faith, we believe that each person is deeply loved by God and has a call and purpose for their lives. As a congregation of the United Church of Canada, our roots are expressed in various creeds and statements of faith.
We believe that our faith is brought to life in new ways in each generation as we listen to the wisdom of elders and youngers. In this way we value the Great Story and the stories of all generations in order to connect with one another and with the continuum of ancient and contemporary wisdom in ways that are life-giving for today.
Spiritual Practice
Spiritual practice does not have to do with age, but with widening, growing... being on the journey together...honouring the past, living fully in the present, and moving into God's future.
