Progressive Christianity

By calling ourselves progressive, we mean that we are Christians who:

• Proclaim Jesus Christ as our Gate to the realm of God
• Recognize the faithfulness of other people who have other names for the gateway to God's realm
• Understand our sharing of bread and wine in Jesus' name to be a representation of God's feast for all peoples
• Think that the way we treat one another and other people is more important than the way we express our beliefs
• Find more grace in the search for meaning than in absolute certainty, in the questions than in the answers
• Invite all sorts and conditions of people to join in our worship and in our common life as full partners

We gladly welcome a wide range of people without imposing on them the necessity of becoming like us, including (but not limited to):

• believers and agnostics
• conventional Christians and questioning skeptics
• homosexuals and heterosexuals
• females and males
• the despairing and the hopeful
• those of all classes and abilities
• those of all races and cultures

We see ourselves as a spiritual community in which we discover the resources required for our work in the world by:

• striving for justice and peace among all people
• bringing hope to those Jesus called the least of his sisters and brothers
