Rooted in the past and growing into the future, the church must always be reformed in order to live out the love of Christ in an ever changing world We celebrate the good news of God’s grace, that Jesus Christ sets us free every day to do this life transforming work Trusting in the freedom given to us in baptism, we pray for the church, that Christians will unite more fully in worship and mission
