The Bible alone is our rule for faith and practice. Our stated ministry values and beliefs are intended as a basis of unity within our fellowship (1 Corinthians 1:10). These truths are Biblically based and are essential to understanding and functioning according to the full Gospel. However, they are not the full revelation of Scripture but are proposed to keep us from error. Therefore, all members of our fellowship are encouraged to continue to be lifelong students (2 Timothy 2:15) who pursue to Know God more and His plan for mankind and for us as individuals.
