Our Guiding Principles
The things to which we will hold ourselves accountable in all circumstances.
-
We proclaim Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
-
We recognize that Baptism is our entrance to our life with Christ; remembering our Baptism, we always strive to forgive others as God forgives us.
-
We recognize our neighbors as all people who God places within our reach or influence as we boldly share God's grace and blessings.
-
We seek guidance from our God by embracing the Holy Spirit working through us and encourage every believer to use his or her spiritual gifts for God's service.
-
We often gather in His name to offer prayer and praise, worshiping at least weekly around Word and Sacrament.
