Our Identity

---

What does that mean? 

• We support women in all leadership and ministry positions in the Church. 
• We participate and fellowship in the larger Christian community of Methodists, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, etc. 
• We are somewhat more liturgical in Sunday morning worship. 
• Our Biblical interpretation takes the scriptures seriously but not necessarily literally. 
• Our church polity respects and honors the call of our ministers while allowing congregational participation and input in the direction of the church.

What does this mean? 

• Authority of Scriptures: The Christian Bible was inspired by God and is the foundation for what we believe and how we live. 
• Separation of Church and State: Government should not favor one interpretation of faith over another. 
• Religious Freedom: People have the freedom to accept or reject the beliefs we hold. Rejection doesn't result in coercion or punishment, but instead respect for an individual's freedom. 
• Priesthood of Believers: Every Christian is called to the work of Christ in the world and to serve as priests (ministers) to one another.
