We encourage and call one another to become intentional whole-hearted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. Christ calls us to follow Him, declaring that the first commandment is to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. In response to His call, we seek to become disciples and to build disciples in every age and station of life, applying our faith to the full depth and breadth of human activities and relationships.
We build our faith and practice on the word of God. The Bible is essential for our faith and understanding of God and His will, for the growth of our intimacy with God and for the transformation of our minds, hearts, and wills.
We pray as individuals and as a church. We pray in order to grow in our intimacy with God, to participate in the work of God around the world, to serve and minister to one another, to see individual lives changed and to see our culture transformed.
We encourage and support one another in fulfilling God’s call to be stewards of the abilities, opportunities and resources He has given us. God has blessed us with time, talent, spiritual gifts, relationships, creative desires and material possessions, and He has placed us in a beautiful world that He created. Our greatest fulfillment, and God’s greatest glory, comes when we embrace the calling to be stewards of these gifts and resources.
We encourage the practice of the classical spiritual disciplines. Following the example of the church fathers, the reformers and Christians throughout the ages, we encourage the practice of spiritual disciplines (such as fasting, meditation, solitude, sacrifice, etc.).
We encourage personal discipleship and mentoring. In all our ministry activities, we seek to build a culture of intentional discipleship and mentoring in which people help one another along the journey of faith and transformation.
