Seekers intentionally commits to the equality of all races, genders, and sexual orientations. We invite everyone without regard to age, education, socio-economic status, or spiritual tradition. What is most important to us is getting to know one another and nurturing each other&#8217;s gifts. We strive to be a church within which we can experience the presence of God together, and take that presence back out into the world.</p>
290<p>Seekers Church does not have a pastor. Rather, we recognize that everyone has gifts and authority, and we depend on each member of our community to help sustain the life of the church. Our structures include a Servant Leadership Team, a group of Stewards, and a number of <a href="https://www.seekerschurch.org/mission-groups">mission groups. </a>You can read more about these structures of <a href="https://www.seekerschurch.org/shared-leadership-in-seekers/">
290shared leadership here</a> and in the <a href="https://www.seekerschurch.org/a-guide-to-seekers-church/">Guide to Seekers Church</a>.</p>
291<p><a href="https://www.seekerschurch.org/our-call/">Our call</a> is to be a community of Seekers that comes together in weekly worship rooted in Biblical faith and disperses with a commitment to understand and embody Christian servanthood in the structures in which we live our lives.</p>
292<p>We share many of our practices with the other Christian communities and <a href="https://inwardoutward.org/ministries/">ministries</a> of Church of the Saviour. This support includes publishing <em>Callings in Church of the Saviour,” </em>a quarterly newsletter, and “Inward/Outward Together,” a weekly Gospel reflection distributed by email. <a href="https://www.seekerschurch.org/our-heritage/">Read more about Church of Saviour here.</a> <a href="https://www.seekerschurch.org/callings/">Here is an archive of “</a><em>Callings.”</em> To receive the weekly Gospel reflection, contact the editor at <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>.</p>
293<p><strong>A Confession of Faith</strong></p>
294<p>As part of our response to these troubled times, in December 2025 Seekers Church joined with the other faith communities of Church of the Saviour to adopt a confession of Faith, declaring the theological foundation of our identity as a Confessing Church. We call upon others to stand with us in this Confession of Faith and to embody these truths in public witness and private life. <a href="https://www.seekerschurch.org/wp-content/uploads/26-CoS-Confession-of-Faith.pdf">The Church of the Saviour Confession of Faith is found here.</a></p>
