13 WE BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST Everything we do begins with Christ. We remember how he ministered to the poor, fed the hungry, healed the sick, befriended sinners, welcomed the shunned and sacrificed himself to save us. He rose from the dead and gives us hope. WE HONOR HUMANITY AS WELL AS DIVINITY We believe all people are children of God, and we treat them that way. WE SERVE GOD BY SERVING OTHERS We remember the second of Christ s great commandments is to love each other. We make personal commitments to working with people in our neighborhood and around the world. WE CELEBRATE DIVERSITY We make especially sure that people who feel excluded elsewhere are welcomed and invited to be an integral part of our congregation. WE WORSHIP JOYFULLY We sing and pray and study with passion and intellect and energy. We are an Easter people, and we are glad. WE WELCOME THE HARD WORK OF PROPHECY Our close proximity to power gives us the chance to speak for the powerless. We are mindful that prophets examine themselves closely before sharing their message with the world. WE BELIEVE OUR MINDS ARE GREAT GIFTS FROM GOD We are intellectually honest and curious. We view science, scholarship and other religious traditions as tools to discover the wonder of God s Word and creation. - F O U N D R Y S C O R E V A L U E S - WE CHERISH GOD S GIFTS God blesses us with time, talent, money, opportunity and the Earth we now call home. We strive to be responsible stewards of God s great bounty. 13
