We build our church community on a foundation of love with the goal of promoting justice and peace. Toward this end, I covenant to do the following:

• Accept responsibility for my own actions.
• Be receptive to connecting with others by listening with care and compassion.
• Speak my truth honestly and directly with care and compassion.
• Honor the confidentiality and private disclosures of others.
• Welcome new members and guests within this religious community.
• Embrace our diversity as a source of communal strength and accept and care for others despite our differences.
• Cherish the well­being of the congregation above my personal preferences.
• Remain engaged in the process with compassion and respect when conflict occurs, knowing that truth and sound decisions emerge from an open exchange of ideas.
• Use the Healthy Relations Policy (under revision).
• Contact a minister or pastoral team when I believe the Covenant has been broken.
