Vision Statement
We exist because of God's great love for us. Through the work of the Holy Spirit we receive a passion for God's word, prayer, and the Sacraments giving us spiritual strength. This enables us to be a community of the true faith in Christ to serve and care for all people, following his example and connecting others to Him.
Guiding Principles
- We exist to love God and one another. (Matthew 22:37-39, 1 John 4: 7-12) - We are to be focused on God and what He has done for us. (Deut. 13:4;Heb. 12:2; John 3:16) - We are to speak the Truth in Love... a. to people who don't know. (1 Cor. 9: 19-23) b. to people who do know. (Eph.4:15; 1 Thess. 5:11) - By God's Grace we strive to "Live what it looks like", being visible examples to others of what the Church means to us. (Isaiah 2:5; Matt.5:14-16; Eph. 5:1,2) - To do so with God's Power in the Holy Spirit, and on our knees.(Ps.46:1; 1 Peter 5:6)
