About Us

 

· We are a gathering of people in the greater Reading, PA area who seek to celebrate the love of Christ in all people.
To the outcast, we offer inclusion; to the rejected, acceptance;
to the afflicted, comfort; to the sinner, forgiveness; to the despondent, hope; to the troubled, peace. 

· We affirm the dignity of all human persons regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, religious affiliation, social or economic status, gender, age, sexual-orientation, or physical ability. 

·  In our theological outlook we are contemporary, yet practice a faith and worship tradition that is rooted in the ancient church. 

· In our ecumenical stance, we follow the ancient wisdom of the Church as expressed in the words of St. Augustine, “in essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.” 

· Our primary outreach is to three groups:

first, to people who believe that the sacraments need to be valid in terms of historical Christian belief and apostolic succession, but who are no longer willing to attend a church that does not understand human brokenness and limits
access to God; 

second, to the gay and lesbian community who routinely feel unwelcome, disenfranchised or excluded from their former church home; and

third, to the increasing number of Christians who have no single tradition background from childhood and who feel they can comfortably be neither Roman Catholic nor Protestant. 

· All are welcome to join us and receive the sacraments of the church.
