PROGRESSIVE THEOLOGY
At the heart of our church is an openness to everyone and affirmation of who you are in God’s eyes. Our church welcomes those who are seeking a life of faith with Jesus as a teacher and leader who binds us to acting for social justice. We do not strictly adhere to a doctrine but rather question the Bible and believe it’s a guide for our lives. We believe in practicing radical compassion and justice for the oppressed. We believe in protecting and restoring the earth.

By calling ourselves progressive Christians, we mean that we are Christians who…
- Believe that following the way and teaching of Jesus can lead to experiencing sacredness, wholeness, and unity of all life, even as we recognize that the Spirit moves in beneficial ways in many faith traditions.
- Seek community that is inclusive of all people, honoring differences in theological perspective, age, race, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, class, or ability.
- Strive for peace and justice among all people, knowing that behaving with compassion and selfless love towards one another is the fullest expression of what we believe.
- Embrace the insights of contemporary science and strive to protect the Earth and ensure its integrity and sustainability.
- Commit to a path of life-long learning, believing there is more value in questioning than in absolutes.
