This first core value affirms that our spiritual needs are important needs. God has created each one of us, and He has done so in such a way that life is not complete without a personal and living relationship with Him. He makes that possible through His Son, Jesus Christ. At the cross of crucifixion Jesus died for our sins, bearing rejection by God so that we could know relationship with God. Then He rose from the dead, inviting us to a lifestyle of intimacy with Him.
Every person needs to love and be loved.
We, by God's creative design, also need people in our lives. That means we forgive others as Christ has forgiven us, serve one another, worship frequently together, and try to build healthy friendships, marriages and families. As a church, we are more than just a collection of individuals. We are a family. We share our resources to reach all ages.
