For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels. Here are a few we have developed. We aspire to be a multiracial congregation. We will expect them to be men of outstanding character, holy and blameless in conduct before God and before men. We will expect them to be devoted to prayer, bible study, and filled with compassionate concern for every member of the flock and for the community.
Hearts are to be open to a multiracial leadership, for racial prejudice is sin.
Every member is encouraged and expected to have a ministry for the Lord. Shepherding is the primary role of elders. Administrative activities will be relegated to others. Those who wish to be designated as shepherds should be those who were already doing the work of a shepherd as a natural outcropping of their voluntary service to the Lord. Such service includes counseling and comforting those who are distressed or grieving, teaching others, and leading by example as to how one grows in grace to be as Christ.
