As members of the 8th Episcopal District, we covenant to live together by:

Devoting ourselves to Scripture, prayer, fellowship, and the breaking of bread.

Walking in humility, gentleness, patience, and love.

Welcoming strangers as Christ has welcomed us.

Living as one body, united by one Spirit and one Lord.

Building bridges across generations, cultures, and communities.

Seeking reconciliation where relationships have been broken.

Encouraging one another in faith and service.

Bearing witness to Christ through lives of hospitality, generosity, and hope.
