We believe that the Bible is God's inspired Word, the authoritative and trustworthy rule for faith and practice for all Christians.

We believe people matter to God, and therefore, ought to matter to the church.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

We believe that man was created with enormous potential and that growth in all areas of life is both natural and expected.
Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love. Ephesians 4:15,16 (NLT)
So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life-your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and] walking-around life-and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you. Romans 12:1,2 (MG)
