Believing the call of Christ is to all people, we seek to encourage the growth of Christian disciples within the Body, while at the same time reaching out with the Gospel message to all who would hear. “Christ crucified and risen” is the basis for our being. We affirm the Bible to be the inspired word of God as we seek to interpret its teaching by power of the Holy Spirit, and all of the decisions we make as a Church proceed from these fundamental priciples.
