Core Values of belief and action
|
|
WE BELIEVE worship fills our spiritual hunger for relationship with God and knits us together as the body of Christ, therefore, WE WILL gather to glorify God and place ourselves in the pathway of God’s grace.
|
|
|
WE BELIEVE study of the scriptures opens minds and hearts to reveal God’s will for each life, therefore, WE WILL seek to grow in Christian Discipleship as students of the Bible.
|
|
|
WE BELIEVE when you participate in God’s family, by loving and caring for each other, that’s called fellowship and that the Church, God’s family, is called to be the body of Christ, therefore, WE WILL seek ways to build up the body of Christ through acts of hospitality and shepherding.
|
|
|
WE BELIEVE all children of God need caring for, therefore, WE WILL seek ways to care for those in our midst, those beyond our community through acts of compassion and justice.
|
|
|
WE BELIEVE a life in Christ must be a visible life, therefore, WE WILL share the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ at every opportunity.
|
|
|
WE BELIEVE that prayer is conversation with God; it deepens our intimacy with God, and draws upon the grace and love of God, therefore, WE WILL offer prayer in every situation and in every place to the end that God's will becomes ours.
