The Great Commandment
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment."
Matthew 22:36-38
"The Father Seeks worshippers... and His worshippers must
worship Him in spirit and in truth." John 4:23-24
- We Believe that the only true basis of
Christian fellowship is His (Agape) love, which is greater than any differences
we possess and without which we have no right to claim ourselves Christians.
- We Believe worship of God should be Spiritual.
Therefore: We remain flexible and yielded to the Holy Spirit to direct our
worship.
- We Believe worship of God should be
Inspirational.
Therefore: We give a great place to music in our worship.
- We Believe worship of God should be
Intelligent.
Therefore: Our services are designed with great emphasis upon
teaching of the Word of God that He might instruct us how He should be
worshipped.
- We Believe worship of God is Fruitful.
Therefore: We look for His Love in our lives as the supreme manifestation that
we have truly been worshipping Him.

The Great Commission "Therefore go and make
disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Sprit, and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you." Matthew 28:19-20
So we communicate His Word "Consequently faith comes
from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the Word of Christ."
Romans 10:17
So we train others as disciples "Let us leave the
elementary teaching about Christ and go on to maturity..." Hebrews 6:1
This is done through the many and varied opportunities for education.
See "Services" for a listing of the educational
opportunities being offered.

The Second Great Commandment "Love your neighbor
as yourself." Matthew 22:39
"Now God gives us many kinds of special abilites.. and there
are diffent kinds of service to God... All of you together form the one; Body
of Christ and each of you is a separate and necessary part of it. 1 Corinthians
12:4-5, 27 (LB)
So we equip people for works of service
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your
good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16 We are not
a denominational church, nor are we opposed to denominations as such, only the
over-emphasis of doctrinal differences that have led to the division of the
body of Christ.
