<span style="color: #2a2a2a;"><strong>Our Mission:</strong>
<span style="font-size: medium;">As a diverse and inclusive faith community,
we welcome and support all who desire to worship, study, commune and share life with us, including those of any race, gender, physical or mental ability, sexual orientation or socioeconomic position, for we believe that in God’s house, all are welcome all the time.</span>

</span>
<ul>
<li><strong><u>We are a Diverse Family of Faith.</u></strong></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Diversity is one of our strengths.  It distinguishes us from many other faith communities.  We are racially diverse.  We are diverse in age, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, political affiliation, education, background, faith upbringing.  We come from the city, we come from the suburbs, some of us walk to church, some of us drive 30+ miles to get here. No matter where you come from:</span>
<em><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">All </span><span style="font-size: small;">are</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> Welcome. All </span><span style="font-size: small;">the</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> Time</span></strong><span style="font-size: medium;">. </span></em>

</span>
<ul>
<li><u><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>We are Advocates of Social Justice</strong> </span></u></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Built on the strong foundation of our faith,  we firmly believe and advocate that everyone deserves equal economic, political and social<strong> </strong>rights and opportunities. This is reflected in our culture, programs, and actions as a faith community. </span>

</span>
<ul>
<li><strong><u>We are United Methodists</u> </strong></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We are a Reconciling Ministry, we are inclusive to all, we are progressive, and <strong>WE ARE </strong>United Methodist.

As United Methodists, we have an obligation to bear a faithful Christian witness to Jesus Christ, the living reality at the center of the Church’s life and witness. To fulfill this obligation, we reflect critically on our biblical and theological inheritance, striving to express faithfully the witness we make in our own time.</span></span>
