Our Vision At Nativity, we believe that God's Spirit is working to create love, justice and peace among all peoples. Pictures of a Worshipping Community Jesus is our model for how we are to join in His work because He was perfectly obedient to God's call. Our purpose in life is to be like Him: listening for God's voice, moving with God's Spirit, doing God's work. As Jesus called together a community of followers to train and organize them for ministry, so we also gather in His Body to train and organize for ministry. Together we . . .   Provide a hospitable welcome to all people regardless of race, ethnicity, income or special needs.       Listen deeply to one another's stories, struggles, hurts and dreams and model the forgiveness, compassion, encouragement and support of Christ.       Ground ourselves in worship, prayer, scripture and theology in the reformed tradition.       Provide a safe place for children and young people with the resources and encouragement to help them grow in Christian faith, relationship with God and love of neighbor.       Equip our members with opportunities to discover the gifts God gave them and to carry out their unique ministries in their everyday lives.       Help people recognize the sacred in all of life and to discern the movement of God's Spirit in our midst       Participate with God in bringing into reality the divine vision of a world where all creation lives in harmony and justice.       - Adopted on 27-January-2002
