The church should speak the language of the people it is trying to reach. God gifts the people of the church to carry out the ministry of the church. Loving relationships are the only legitimate relationships. Life change happens best in small groups. Excellence honors God and inspires people.
People are more important than programs.
The deity and preeminence of Jesus Christ. The supreme authority of the Bible. The right of private interpretation of the Scripture. The separation of Church and State. A regenerate church membership.
