...lead a life worthy of the calling to which you
have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing
with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of
the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just
as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith,
one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through
all and in all. But each of us was given grace according to the measure
of Christ's gift.
Ephesians 4:1-7 (NRSV)
We are a community of faith committed to Scriptureinspired by God, trustworthy, reliable, and authoritative for shaping and communicating truth and reality. We find in Scripture these truths to which we hold:
As a community of faith comprised of diverse individuals devoted
to fellowship with one another we understand that in areas of debate and opinion,
there is liberty. In all things, whether essential or non-essential, we show
love.
