We rely upon the Scriptures alone for "everything pertaining to life
and godliness," treating the Bible as fully sufficient for the ordering
of the church and the family; giving "priority" to expository preaching.
|
|
We submit to the Headship of Christ over His church, including a
plurality of leadership by elders.
|
|
We recognize the church to be a spiritual "family of families" which
values intimacy, interaction and growth by the multiplication of family-
like congregations which are God's building blocks for the church;
families include husbands and wives, singles, widows, divorcees,
grandparents, etc.
|
|
We desire to develop a multi-generational vision for both the church
and the family that stimulates personal sacrifice, maturity, and
preserves our spiritual heritage.
|
|
We purpose to equip every household for ministry through heart-level
relationships by preparing and utilizing fathers as servant-leaders in their
family and the church to fulfill our multi-generational vision.
|
|
We pursue outreach by having families "living out the gospel" in ministry
to the saints and witness to the lost, and through supporting missions at
home and abroad.
|
|
We fervently seek God through prayer and wait upon His direction
and provision in all things.
