Vision
Share God’s love for all people from one generation to the next.
Mission
Welcome
All are welcome! Every person has a place at God’s table. No exceptions. Rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we seek to be a loving community where all can belong.
Worship
The heart of our identity is as a worshiping community gathered around Word and Sacrament. Our worship has personality and we want you to leave feeling filled up! We engage Scripture, music, reflection, prayer, and humor to help people build a meaningful, close relationship with God and each other.
Respond
In gratitude to God’s grace, we cannot help but courageously and generously respond to the evolving needs of our greater community. With loving hearts and helpful hands, we are called to work together to contribute to the health of the church and the good of the world.
Values
Community
God has created us to be in relationships with one another. We value inter-generational relationships between people, families, the church, our neighbors, the larger church body, partner organizations, and with creation itself. We seek to be an active and visible part of the greater New Prague area to contribute to a safe, supportive and life-giving community.
Authenticity
Come as you are. We seek to be humble and genuine. We acknowledge and value our imperfections, because God loves us for who we already are.
Inclusivity
We believe we are wonderfully different. We believe the diversity of people and thought is fundamental for Christian unity. What ties us together is the promise of God’s grace. It’s beautifully complicated!
