We are a Christian church, our first baptismal question is "Who is your Lord and Savior?", and we are first and foremost as Christians, disciples of Jesus Christ, God made flesh, who has shown us in his life, ministry, death and resurrection the face and love of God.  It is through Christ that we more fully understand who God is.  Part of that understanding is that Christ, whom we follow, loved and welcomed all unconditionally, without exception.  

We don't just "think, question, grow and serve", we do it joyfully, not because we have to, but because we get to engage with a God who loves us, we get to share God's love with others, and we get to work with others who lift us up. 

Our openness to questioning things and beliefs is one of our strengths.  One of the foundational values of Presbyterians is that we don’t check our brains at the door.  We continue to think, to reason, to question, to discuss, and to explore, to discover God’s Word and guidance for each one of us and for the church today.  We will not tell you what you have to think, but we will encourage you to think for yourself and to offer opportunities to ask questions and to learn together.
