BELIEFS
In baptism, we experience God's love for us. This love gifts us with grace and beauty, forgiveness and meaning. As we are loved, so we are called to love - reaching out to others in our community, nation and world. In this place, God has given us a special ministry to the entire university community. Our call is to be a voice of progressive Christian faith in a world that increasingly believes Christianity to be irrelevant or unimportant. We also believe that we are to be a fully inclusive community of faith, welcoming all persons to a relationship with God in Christ, and encouraging each person to desire God's Spirit. As baptized Christians, we remember the ongoing significance of our baptism and seek to identify and use our gifts and graces for ministry.
