We proclaim Jesus Christ. Who lived, died, and lives again.
Who acknowledged each person's dignity and worth.
Who brought, for all people, the message of redemption and of God's
inexhaustible love.
Our mission is about sharing the peace of Jesus Christ in all its dimensions.
“The peace of Jesus Christ” encompasses all of the promises, hopes, and
blessings of the gospel as revealed by Christ and as affirmed by the Holy
Spirit, his promised presence with us.
Worldwide, each of our congregations is a warm, participative community where we
respect—and use—the gifts and talents of each person, from oldest to youngest in
celebration of our mission. In neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and
organizations, we share the peace of Jesus Christ by caring for each other, for
all people, and for the earth itself.
Community: a place to belong.
Women, men, and children—all holding something in common.
A group working together toward a cherished purpose, and welcoming newcomers
with joy.
Whether one labels it Zion, shalom, the peaceable kingdom, or God's kingdom on earth, it starts right here, right now. This is the divine call to enflesh the gospel in community living, through which the physical and spiritual needs of people are to be met, and through which harmony, security, and peace can be realized. Together with God, we participate in building a world of peace, reconciliation, and healing of the spirit—an active, redemptive peace for all.
