Adapt our methods to make as many new disciples of Jesus as we can. We have to find ways to engage and connect with non-Christians if we have any hope of saving some. That means stepping out of our comfort zones and doing something different.

The church is called to proclaim and protect the truth of God in a world deceived by the devil. We teach the truths revealed in Scripture even when it drives people away or makes them feel uncomfortable.

All Christians are ministers and responsible for ministry. Ministry is not only the job of the pastor; rather, the pastors job is to equip the saints for the work of ministry.

The mission of the church is the great commission - to make disciples of all nations. This is the job of every Christian, as we are all ambassadors of Christ. [Mention church planting.}

The church is to maintain unity and a oneness that resembles the union of the three Persons of the Trinity. Jesus said a house divided cannot stand, so if a church hopes to endure, it must maintain unity in Christ.

The church is the community of Christ’s disciples (universal & local church) who belong to and participate in the Body of Christ (individually & communally active).

Jesus is the head of the church. It was founded by Him, it was given life through Him, and it must submit to Him. This means that the church does not exist for you. You exist for the church.

Jesus is the ultimate expression of God's love, sent to save, not to condemn. Through His sacrifice, He offers eternal life to all who believe, shining His light into a dark world. His love not only rescues us but transforms us, inviting us to step into the light and live as beloved children of God.

After the Fall of Adam & Eve, God's plan of salvation was revealed in His curse of the serpent. God would use the seed of Eve to bruise or crush the head of the serpent, who would only be able to bruise or strike the heal of Eve's descendant. Jesus is that descendant who defeats the devil.
