  • Living in the world: We purpose to demonstrate, in tangible ways, the hope and love of Jesus to society - in our homes, among our neighbors, at work, within our communities and beyond.
  • Giving ourselves away: We resolve to give away our time & talents, our possessions & potential, sacrificing and emptying ourselves to serve Christ and His kingdom.
  • Loving one another: We commit to share life through relationships - developing, encouraging and serving one another within the body of Christ wherever we find it.
