We choose to have no superiors or inferiors among us.

We affirm the dignity and giftedness of women, men and children.

We commit ourselves to a language that is inclusive and expands the image of God.

We choose to reach out beyond our limited horizons to people who are in need, and we will continue to tithe to the poor and needy.

We commit ourselves to grow in faithfulness to God, the Word, one another, and the whole human family.

We affirm our love and care for the Earth and resolve to plant seeds of life and goodness and to nurture all that is good.

We commit ourselves to working for peace and justice in our world.

We commit ourselves to living out this vision of a church without regard for the cost.
