- We're committed to an open-minded Christianity. Members of CACC have many understandings of who Jesus is. The congregation encourages questioning and growing in our understanding of God and faith as we walk together on our spiritual journeys. We have a dynamic, creative understanding of scripture, rather than a static literal understanding. We believe that no interpretation of scripture is definitive, that scripture must be studied in its historical and social contexts, and that God is still speaking both through scripture and in our lives.
- We're committed to including those excluded by other churches. CACC is an "Open and Affirming" community that invites lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people to participate fully in the church's life. We welcome non-traditional families of many kinds. We require no test of faith or proper belief.
- We're committed to service, peace, and justice. CACC's Faith-in-Action team partners with other community organizations to address community needs. Our Outreach Team raises money to support community action groups and peace and justice projects. Our Peace and Justice Fellowship shares information, support, and work on projects that promote peace and justice.
- We're committed to children and young people. A full time Children's & Youth Ministries Coordinator leads an exciting program for children, junior high students, and high school students. Childcare is available for all church events. Safety policies protect our young people.
