Welcome

We greet people, ideas and situations with open arms and open hearts, accepting them with respect and without condemnation or prejudice.

Grace

We live in the confidence and gratitude for God’s infinite forgiveness and goodness. Likewise, we strive to pay these gifts forward in being kind, good and forgiving.

Compassion

We seek to be sensitive to the needs of individuals and communities in our world. Where there is suffering, we work to alleviate it through understanding, empathy, and action. Where there is joy, we readily join in the celebration of others’ happiness.

Creativity

We value imagination and expression. All in our community are encouraged to live dynamically, pursuing continual improvement through original and worthwhile contributions.
