Our Core Values

Inclusivity- Every person bears God’s image and is welcome in God’s family and at Christ’s table. We strive to create a community of radical welcome where all feel seen, heard, and valued.

Faithful Curiosity- We seek understanding with an openness, grounded in Christ, guided by scripture, and shaped by honest conversations and challenges they bring. We value a thoughtful, engaged faith that is open to growth, questions, and transformation.

Engagement- We believe faith calls us to action through justice, service, and learning that transforms our church, the world, and ourselves. We live out our faith through active service, advocacy, and learning that connects belief to meaningful impact.

Community- We seek to be a church of compassion and care, walking with one another through every season of life. We believe community is built through presence, prayer and practical support.

Our Practices

We practice unity and inclusion at the Lord’s Table.
All are welcome to the Lord’s Table for the sake of mission and for the sake of the world as the one family of God. At Geist Christian Church we do this by celebrating communion every Sunday.

We practice believer’s baptism.
A person makes the choice to follow God’s call rather than the choice being made for them as an infant. Baptism is the basis of membership in the Church and a mark that every person has unique gifts to serve God. While we practice believer’s baptism, all forms of Christian baptism are recognized and celebrated at Geist Christian Church.

We study scripture for ourselves.
Rather than having tests of faith and creedal statements, we critically and thoughtfully study scripture, considering the context in which it was written.

We are a movement for Christian unity.
We honor our heritage as a movement for Christian unity by cooperating and partnering with other faith communities to work for bringing about wholeness – healing and justice – in the world. This is what it means to be “ecumenical.” 

We also honor the heritage of Christian unity by staying together in covenant as a witness to the world that even when we disagree, we can still make room, welcoming all to the table as Christ has welcomed us. Our spiritual ancestors were fond of saying, “unity, not uniformity.”
