We love because He first loved us. We will seek to serve as Christ served us. As a family of believers, we will love God and our neighbor. By this, all men will know we are His disciples. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to Father except through Him. We are forgiven, healed, and delivered by the blood of Christ. It is the duty of the church to show the world Christ; fully knowing that He is the only source of salvation and real change. God wants a personal relationship with each of us. His Son and the Holy Spirit confirm this desire. We will bring Him our whole heart, as we actively seek Gods face through prayer, study, praise, and worship. As we draw close to Him, he will draw close to us.

By His word, we are equipped to move toward the callings He has placed on each of our lives. We will unite together in the study of His word; in order to show ourselves approved and rightly divide the truth. As Gods children, we will seek to grow in maturity and strength (individually and as His body) by putting on the whole armor of God. We are endowed with power from on high through the Holy Spirit. Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world. The Holy Spirit teaches us, intercedes for us, and guides us in all righteousness. Through His gifts, we will bear the fruit of the Spirit, which accompany salvation. The love of God binds us together as one body, each part fulfilling its own purpose. Christ is the cornerstone, establishing the foundation of His church. With Him as the head, He establishes order and security. Upon this foundation, individuals, families, and communities can be joined together for His purpose.
