We believe God is revealed
in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
We seek to follow Christ’s way
and seek the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
As Christ’s people,
we will seek God’s blessings
so that we may bless others.
We will carry our shared stories of blessings
in ways that allow others to share in them.
We will seek to be generous and hospitable
in our sharing.
We believe God created the First Peoples of this place
– revealing Sacred story to them through this Land.
We seek to learn with them and share the grace and love
made possible by the Spirit of God in our lives.
We believe God continues to be revealed
in the diversity of God’s creation,
so we seek to live out the Uniting Church’s calling
to be a multicultural church and work for
the renewal and reconciliation of all creation.
