Our Core Values

Inclusive Worship

We empower everyone at God's table: No exceptions.

We engage fully all ages in the life of the community.

Liturgy and music are central to our identity as a community of faith.

Growing in Faith

We come together to deepen our understanding of God.

We discern how Jesus calls us to live in the world.

Loving Others

We create authentic community that is relational, not transactional.

We follow Jesus' commandment to love our neighbors through service and advocacy.

We are a community of varied ages, genders, ethnic and racial backgrounds, nationalities and geographic origins, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, economic situations, family structures, abilities, and religious backgrounds.

We have life-long Virginians and those who will only be in the area for a short time. We are single, married, partnered, divorced, widowed, remarried and "it's complicated." We are clergy, community activists, bankers, photographers, artists, lawyers, architects, students, and everything in between.

Needless to say, if you show up you will most likely find someone like you (and, even better, build relationships with those who aren't).

We are an inclusive and vibrant community committed to loving and living the questions. All are welcome and valued.
