•    We find God as the loving, compassionate ground of being that is the Source of life.
•    We discover in following Jesus we find the heart of God that is within us.
•    We affirm the church is a church only when it follows Jesus’ path in caring for the poor, the orphans, and those rejected by consumer culture.
•    We seek to embody the living, loving heart of God in welcoming all people and celebrating God’s obvious love for holy diversity.  We support LGBTQ rights, Women’s rights, and voting rights for all citizens.
•    We are dedicated to a Jesus-centered, Jesus-taught faith that rejects any so-called “Christian values” if Jesus never taught such values.
•    We are open to all of God’s truth and all of human compassion, and desire friendships and service together with people who follow the ways of Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Daoism and other global faiths or people without any faith tradition.
•    We find no conflict between established truths in science and medicine and our faith.  We know that vaccines, flu shots and health care access for all save lives.
