Statement of Values
Spirit of the Lakes United Church of Christ is a community whose core values are:
- spirituality,
- compassion ,
- justice-making.
Our mission embodying these values is nurtured both by the spiritual practice of pursuing the mystery of Christ's presence in the world and by:
- economic simplicity with
- global awareness and
- fiscal responsibility.
Within our community these values require:
- inclusivity,
- hospitality and the
- creation of sanctuary within which all may claim a safe haven for spiritual healing where all may participate in a community that encourages each of us to attain full personhood.
In the larger world, we are called to public witness for social and ecological justice and to advocate human dignity.
