Needs are met, and there is the knowledge that in coming to our congregations God has reached out to them in some way. This relevance makes them want to come back again. God has given us the gift of diversity, and it is evident in our congregations. Diversity allows for cultural variety in approaches to worship and topicality. As relationships are restored daily within the setting of our services, embracing of diversity becomes one of our unifying factors.
Church is a happy environment where people celebrate the joy of their salvation.
This joy goes across generational boundaries, and there is a place of emotional warmth for everybody within our congregations. There is the possibility of involvement for everyone in informal or official congregational ministries. Each congregation seeks ways to reach out to the community with the gospel message and is actively making a difference in the community. People have a sense of arrival in their spiritual journey and are moving from being seekers to being contributors. We occasionally have mixed up the idea of being different with the concept of making a difference.
