It is our desire to follow God in all that we do. We take seriously His commands and precepts, and while we are imperfect in practicing our faith, we continually strive to be more like His Son Christ Jesus and carry out His Great Commission (Matthew 28:19)
We gain a hearing for the gospel by meeting the needs of the homeless, hungry and hurting of our community and make it our priority to fulfill God's desire as expressed by the Prophet Isaiah:
Is not this the fast that I have chosen?
to loose the bands of wickedness,
to undo the heavy burdens,
and to let the oppressed go free,
and that ye break every yoke?
Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry,
and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house?
when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him;
and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Isaiah 58:6-7
We affirm the following Statement of Faith:
