God's Love at the Core - How are we to BE as a local church family? How are we to Exercise our Spiritual Gifts? What is the atmosphere and attitude within our church family supposed to be like? How are we to be toward those outside of Christ?
The Fabric, Attitudes, Relationships, and Specific Pastoral Leadership of the local church are fueled by the Word of God, the Love of God, His Spiritual Gifts, and His Surrendered, Humble, Caring Disciples who are Servants of Christ - ready for the Battle as Warriors for Christ, for the Sake of the Gospel - the Great Commission.
