We come into God's presence to bless him because he first comes into our presence to bless us.

Public worship is God-directed and corporately aware. God commands and directs our worship. Everything we do when we gather should be respectful and orderly.

Jesus removes walls that divide Christians and gives us unity with each other... because his sacrifice first gives us unity with God.

The coming of Jesus began a new era of history where the message of salvation is now explicitly for all nations and languages. The church’s mission is to continue proclaiming that message until Jesus returns.

Love is necessary, permanent, supreme; and it is revealed to us in the character and actions of God in the person of Jesus Christ.

God has designed his church to be a community of individuals—distinct and different, but united and interdependent.

God gives gifts to his church to unite them in celebrating and proclaiming that Jesus is Lord.

Christians are to gather in unity to celebrate and proclaim what Jesus has done. The sacrament of the Lord’s Supper is our opportunity to display not just our understanding of Jesus’ sacrifice but our trust in it.

God created men and women equal in dignity and worth as

bearers of his image. But he gave them certain different roles in

worship and marriage to highlight different aspects of his character

and glory.
