  • The short answer is we're a United Methodist Church and you can find what United Methodists believe here.

    The longer answer is that our community has always sought to transcend the institutional church, so we don't fit neatly into any box or institution, even the United Methodist one. Our community is made up of saints and sinners, believers and non-believers. Some of us are nones and dones, all of us are seekers.

    We put a much greater emphasis on action over doctrine, so what holds us all together is our commitment to living like Jesus whose mission was to "bring good news to the poor, proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free those who are oppressed." For us that means listening to our community, speaking out against injustice, and showing up in the community. Sometimes it means making some "good trouble." We hope you will join us in this work!
