Our Vision
Our Creed
I am deeply loved and graced by God.
His life is a gift to me.
My life, well lived, is my gift to Him.
I am determined
To live the life I could never deserve
From the place of His grace.
My faith is audacious,
My spirit relentless.
I will not be deterred,
I will not quit
Until Jesus is fully honored
And a hurting world has heard the good news.
If not me, then who?
If not here, then where?
If not now, then when?
I am deeply loved and graced by God!
Concerning absolutes we have unity
Concerning non-absolutes we have liberty
Concerning all issues we show charity
