  1. “A Life of Discipleship” means:
    • Daily prayer
      • Committed to listening to God, and to discerning God’s direction for us as a people
    • Study of Scripture
    • Weekly worship
      • Worship will be culturally relevant, innovative and meaningful while honoring the traditions of the United Church of Canada.
      • Living out the sabbath will be encouraged.
    • Proportional Giving
    • Service
      • Committed to serving others (the hungry, sick, homeless, victimized, marginalized)
      • Committed to working for social justice
      • Committed to world peace
    • Spiritual Friendships
      • Growing in our faith
      • Communicating who we are, as a United Church, to others

  2. The CONGREGATION will be an intentional community centred in God’s mission that models the kingdom of God.
      • A diversity of ages, races, sexual orientations, economic conditions, abilities and theological perspectives will be embraced, respected and celebrated
      • People’s gifts will be discerned, affirmed, encouraged and equipped for a variety of ministries.
