Jesus’ love. To Everyone. Everywhere.
We espouse the central tenets of Progressive Christianity which acknowledges the validity and beauty of all the world’s religions while following our own path.
We recognize the foundational imperative of our faith to transform the world into the “kindom of God,” not promoting the exclusivity of Christian faith but the fundamental notion that we are all “kin” to each other and need to treat each other as such.
We do not require adherence to any creed or test of faith, but rather encourage everyone to continually grow on their journey of faith and understanding.
We embrace a vision of More Joy. More Justice, More Compassion. In our hearts, In our homes. In our communities. In our world.
To realize this vision, we work in active partnerships with as many churches, community groups, and institutions as we can, including several partnerships with Pacific University, an institution we founded back in 1845.
