Love God Supremely

We believe that everything begins with God—His character, His glory, His grace, and His unending love. To love God supremely is to acknowledge that He alone is our highest treasure and greatest joy. It means orienting our entire lives around who He is, not merely adding Him to our schedules but centering our identity and purpose in Him. 

Loving God supremely means placing Him at the highest place in our hearts—It means allowing His glory, His holiness, and His love to shape our identity, priorities, and purpose. 

Ultimately, to love God supremely is to live with a growing passion for His glory and a longing for His presence. It is choosing to worship Him above every competing affection and to obey Him with joyful devotion. This kind of love is not something we muster on our own; it is the Spirit’s work within us. As we learn to love God more fully, we discover the abundant life He designed for us and the foundation for everything else we do as His people.

Love Others Sacrificially

Jesus taught us that genuine love always costs something—and He showed us the fullest expression of that love at the cross. Because we are recipients of His undeserved grace, we aim to love others with that same self-giving spirit. This kind of love is not driven by convenience or personal benefit; it’s shaped by a Christlike willingness to give of ourselves for the good of another.

Loving others sacrificially means seeing people as God sees them—image-bearers with dignity, value, and eternal worth. Loving others sacrificially means showing kindness when it’s inconvenient, giving when it stretches us, listening when it would be easier to turn away, and forgiving when it feels difficult.  

In a world often marked by self-interest and isolation, we want our church to be known as a people who embody the self-giving love of Jesus in every season and circumstance.

Live In The World Distinctively

We are called not to blend into the world nor withdraw from it, but to live within it as people shaped by the character of Christ.—not to separate ourselves from our neighbors, but to reflect a different way of life. 

Living distinctively means aligning our choices, attitudes, and actions with the way of Christ, even when that way contrasts with the surrounding culture. We desire to be a faithful presence in the world: people who build trust, serve our community, and seek justice and peace in the places God has planted us. This distinctiveness is not about moral superiority but about Spirit-empowered transformation. It is the visible evidence that Christ truly changes lives, values, motivations, and priorities.

We pray that our presence in this world would point beyond ourselves—to the God who is making all things new.
