Mission & Vision Statement

Inspired and empowered by the Spirit, we are an open and affirming, justice-seeking, theologically progressive faith community that  boldly embodies the grace, unconditional love, and mission of Jesus in the world.
We envision a place where all can:
  • belong to God, one another, and all of creation
  • become fully who God created us to be
  • recognize that we are beloved no matter who we are or where we are on the journey of faith

Belonging

We believe everyone deserves a place to belong.

At Touchstone, belonging is not something you earn—it's where we begin. Whether you've spent your whole life in church, are returning after being hurt, or are exploring faith for the first time, there is a place for you here.

We celebrate the diversity of God's creation and welcome people of every age, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, family structure, ability, and background. Together, we seek to build meaningful relationships with God, one another, and the world around us.

Becoming

Faith is a journey of becoming.

We believe God is continually inviting us to grow—deeper in compassion, courage, wisdom, and love. Through worship, learning, service, and community, we encourage one another to become more fully who God created us to be.

As a justice-seeking congregation, we believe spiritual growth is connected to the work of healing, inclusion, and transformation in our community and beyond.

Be-loved

Before we do anything, achieve anything, or believe anything, we are loved.

At Touchstone, we affirm the sacred worth and dignity of every person. We believe nothing can separate us from the love of God, and that this love calls us to extend grace, welcome, and compassion to others.

Our hope is that every person who walks through our doors leaves knowing they are one of God's beloved.
