Our Mission

We are a member-governed community, modelled on faith traditions at their best and open to all people who share our values. Through regular gatherings, shared experiences, celebration of our values and care in action — within our community and beyond it — we build a place of belonging, shared meaning, practical guidance and solidarity.

Our Vision

We aspire to become a home its people hold close to their hearts. A foundation from which they can build and celebrate their lives wherever they go.

Sturdy enough to be a shelter in hard times. Rooted enough to resist forces that isolate, deplete and endanger. Strong enough to be a force for good.

Our Values

The common ground we share, and the work we hope to do: the heart of Bedrock.

Family, Community, and Belonging

Stewarding and strengthening the webs of care that hold us.

Human Dignity and Thriving for All

The inherent worth and equality of every person, and the conditions that let each of us flourish.

Living Sustainably

Working towards harmony with living things and the natural world.

Being Good to Each Other

The ongoing work of showing up for each other and acting with character and integrity.

Contribution and Service

Vocation, volunteerism, and giving back. The tangible ways we contribute to our communities and society.

Seeking Truth

A commitment to science, evidence and honest inquiry.

A Fair and Free Society

Power is shared, checked, and accountable to those it affects.

Meaning and Fulfillment

The celebration of love, joy, spirituality, wonder, beauty, ritual, story, laughter, movement, music, art, sport, food, play and everything else that makes a life worth living.
