The most important thing is to please the heart of God; we exist for His glory! We strive to glorify God and edify others. This is in accordance with Christ commands in Matthew 22:37-40.
We believe that "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him". (Dr. John Pipper)
...Presence
...People
...Purpose
We are a presence driven church. According to "God inhabits the praises of His people". John 12:32 "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me."
God loves People, John 3:16, therefore we will strive to please the heart of God by loving what God loves, and obeying John 17, where Jesus asked the Father that we would be one just as He and the Father are one.
We glorify God by displaying the nature of God to one another. We also declare the truth, power, and glory of the cross when we freely receive and give forgiveness.
We will strive to follow the commands of Matt. 18 and seek reconciliation with those whom we have offended and have been offended by.
We seek to maintain the five essentials found in Acts 2, ministry, discipleship, worship, fellowship, and evangelism, (When the first four are present then God adds to the number daily).
