RELEVANCE, so we apply the unchanging Word of God using culturally sensitive methods (1 Peter 1:24-45; 1 Corinthians 9:22).

PEOPLE, so we seek to help individuals to know Christ personally and experience His grace in every aspect of life (John 3:16; 2 Peter 3:18).

GODLY CHARACTER, so we encourage each other to become like Christ in every way (1 Timothy 4:8; 2 Peter 3:11).

FAMILY, so we embrace the Biblical family model and provide opportunities to strengthen marriages and homes (Deuteronomy 6:6-7; Ephesians 5:21-25, 6:1-2).

FELLOWSHIP, so we nurture authentic, caring relationships in a variety of settings (Hebrews 10:24-25; Colossians 3:12-15).

SERVICE, so we encourage and equip believers to maximize the use of their gifts and resources for ministry (1 Samuel 12:24; Ephesians 4:12).
