Welcome
Jesus’ commandment is to “Love one another as I have loved you.” Diverse human characteristics and life circumstances strengthen our church family as we respect the dignity of each individual. All are welcome.
Hope
Jesus challenges us, “You are the light of the world.” Through the Spirit within, we share the light of hope with all people by showing them love. Hope allows one to anticipate the future with joy. We listen, we pray, we serve each other as people of hope.
Service
Jesus reminds us that He did not come to be served, but to serve. We do ministry with those who suffer hardship or injustice. Reaching within our church family and beyond, we become disciples of Christ using our gifts that God has given us.
Worship
Jesus says, “Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in their midst.” We worship God through Word, music, and in relationships that inspire each of us to respond to God’s love. We go forth from our relevant, engaging Spirit-led liturgies to love and serve the needs of one another. For we believe that the Mass is never ended, it must be lived.
Learning
Jesus says, “The seed that falls on good ground will produce much fruit.” Our faith must be tended and nourished through prayer, study and action. We recognize how praying and learning, in community and in the silence of our hearts, shapes our believing and deepens our formation in faith. Growing deeper in our faith brings about action in everyday life.
