The overall thrust of the public services, classes, and groups is to help people become mature in Christ. Our people work to make guests feel at home. There are systems whereby people are led into a group or class. We are having a positive impact on our neighborhood and city. Our services reflect concern for the unreached peoples of the world.
Missions has a high public profile.
We involve people in training, both formal and informal. There are structures for discipling existing leaders. Our leaders hold themselves responsible when asked about current or past wrongs. Leaders are elected on the basis of character first and giftedness second. There is a clear understanding of the role of the pastor, the board, the staff, the congregation, and the denomination.
