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

• Proclaim Jesus Christ as our window into the character and passion of God.
• Recognize the faithfulness of others who have other names for their window into God’s realm.
• Understand our sharing of the bread and cup to represent God’s feast for all peoples.
• Invite all people to join in our worship and common life as full partners.
• Think that the way we treat one another and others 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.
• See ourselves as a spiritual community that strives for justice and peace among all people and seeks to bring hope to those Jesus called the least of his brothers and sisters.
• Recognize that our faith calls us to costly discipleship, renunciation of privilege, and resistance to evil.
