The Mustard Seed is a vibrant and diverse Christian community in which all participants are committed to understanding each other and pursuing social justice in a stable, trusting environment.
Core Values: Inspired by Christian faith, we value:
1. People : Recognizing the value and potential in everyone.
2. Community : Drawing people into authentic and fulfilling relationships.
3. Learning : Deepening our understanding of God, the world, each other and ourselves.
4. Justice : Pursuing social justice and making things right.
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and
unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from
God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven; by the
power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake
he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose
again in accordance with the scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the
Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no
end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, The Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one Baptism. We look for the
resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
