Our Parish Purpose:
As a multicultural congregation, our purpose is to worship God, to serve one another, and to share with others the transforming love of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Every Sunday morning we recite the following parish purpose,
as found in Luke 4:18-19:
"The spirit of the Lord is upon me, anointing me to preach good news to the poor, sending me to proclaim release to the captives and the recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."
We Value:
The proclamation of the Word of God;
A celebrational style of worship which integrates African-American tradition and Reformed theology,
The spiritual disciplines of personal and community prayer and study,
Unity in diversity reflected in the gifts and participation of all people,
The witness of peace and social justice.
