We Envision a Community of Disciples of Jesus Christ Spurring One Another Toward Faithful Obedience to Christ
Values:
We value allegiance to the reign of God above all other powers.
We value the reading of Scripture that leads to authentic obedience to Jesus Christ. We understand Scripture through Christ, discerned in community and guided by the Holy Spirit.
We value God’s mission of reconciliation to the world and participate as sent disciples by sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ through worship, witness and service.
We value believer’s baptism as a sign of new life in Christ that includes a vital commitment to a local congregation.
We value the Way of Peace as a way of living that is deeply rooted in the Gospel and expresses Christ’s love in all human relationships, even with our enemies.
We value a congregation of disciples who live intentionally as a culturally-relevant contrast to the world where mutual care, accountability, and discernment are Christ-centered and Spirit-led.
We value the Christian home as a primary setting for nurturing faith and healthy relationships.
We value simplicity, integrity, justice, and personal and global stewardship that reflect Christ and honor God.
