Our purpose and mission is to love God and love people.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
OUR APPROACH
In essential beliefs – we have unity.
There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. - Ephesians 4:4-6 NIV
In non-essential beliefs – we have liberty.
Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters… Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls… So then each of us will give an account of himself to God… So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God.” - Romans 14:1, 4, 12, 22 NIV
In all our beliefs – we show love.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” - 1 Corinthians 13:2 NIV
