- We are a lively faith assembly striving to connect across generations.
- We are Christians in the Lutheran tradition [ELCA]; our faith is rooted in a belief of God as made known to us in Jesus Christ. We recognize our heritage, while dealing with current issues, and faithfully living into a more just future.
- We've been in Forest Hills since June 24, 1926, serving our neighborhood in various ways then and now.
- Living out the gift of God's love for everyone one is our big deal; the foundation for all our reaching, teaching, preaching and advocacy.
- Everyone has worth; our worship is open - we believe gathering at the Lord's Table weekly equips us to live through a week as "little Christs" for others [10:30AM on Sundays]
- Everyone has needs and assets; sharing life and serving neighbors in partnership makes us able to approach urban living with a focus on gratitude.
- Life is dramatic; we put a little life on stage through our community theater group [Parkside Players] and help young artists [in partnership with The Broadway Class].
- The church is people (not a building); still, we're glad to use our facilities to host a variety of community groups.
