The baptized persons of God are called, chosen, and anointed as a mission-driven church, guided
  by the Holy Spirit, teaching and living out the sacraments as commanded by Jesus.

  We follow the Gospel by:
    * Being a worshiping and thankful community which is grounded in the Scriptures.
    * Valuing the worth of each person as we strive to become one family in God.
    * Fostering relationships with God and each other from birth to death.
    * Ministering to the needs of all people.
    * Participating in the global body of Christ through mutual ministries.
    * Becoming a shining light of hope to the community by actively spreading God's Word through
      various ministries of Evangelism.
