All people matter to God, therefore they should matter to us. God seeks lost people, so should the church. [Luke 15; Luke 19:10]
The church should be culturally relevant while remaining doctrinally pure. [1 Corinthians 9:22]
The church should strive for excellence in everything it does. Excellence honors God and inspires people. [Colossians 3:17]
The church will strive to pattern itself after the early church described in Acts 2:42-47, wherein biblical community and authentic relationships are encouraged and effected, both within and external to the church body. [Acts 2:42-47]
God's Word is the transformational catalyst for our lives, and its teaching is essential and fundamental to the process of believers developing into fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. [I Peter 2:2]
