We are unapologetically in love with Jesus and our purpose is to reveal who Jesus is by sharing the gospel through our everyday lives. Our methods may change, yet our message will remain the same. We believe that every Christian is called to live a life that\u00a0<\/span>displays the ways of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit and through a commitment to His Word.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Jesus commanded us to love the Lord God with our whole heart and love others as ourselves. Our heart is for all people. All people are loved by Jesus. We desire to lead the lost home. Love is how the world will know that we are His disciples<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If serving is beneath you, then leadership is not for you. Our greatest example of servant leadership was Jesus, and we believe <\/span>the greatest leadership is service to others.\u00a0<\/span>Every leader must first be a servant; from the parking lot to the pulpit, this is a house where everyone serves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We believe generosity is about going above what is required. We see generosity as a privilege – it is who we are because it is a reflection of who our Father is.\u00a0<\/span>He is generous; therefore, we are generous.\u00a0Generous with our time, talents and treasure. We give\u00a0<\/span>generously because He first gave generously to us.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Posture is defined as \u201ca particular way of dealing with or considering something.\u201d May our posture always be humility and prayer <\/span>when we are considering or dealing with situations in our lives. Prayer changes things and we cannot do what God has called us\u00a0<\/span>to do without prayer.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

As Christians, we should display the nature of God through the evidence of the Spirit at work in our lives. The \u201cfruits of the spirit\u201d are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. We believe that as we become more and more like Jesus through the Holy Spirit active in our lives, then more and more our nature should display the \u201cfruits\u201d of His Spirit. When we treat others around us through this mindset, we reflect the nature of Jesus and help build a healthy church\u00a0<\/span>community.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We give honor and worship to God when we do our best for Him. We will always do the best with what we have. We are on time, engaged and prepared. We don\u2019t do things halfway but endeavor to do them to the best of our ability. When we serve unto God,\u00a0<\/span>it is our worship.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
