[LISTEN AGAIN] John 17 Inviting our neighbors to meet and follow Jesus. We put Jesus first. We center everything on Jesus’ love and grace because He alone has set us free. We trust the Bible. We depend on Scripture as our primary guide for life because God leads us most directly through His Word. We journey together. Spiritual growth happens best in community. God brings us into His family so no one has to face anything alone. We collaborate rather than compete. Jesus has one body and we’re all on His team. We work together with others who are seeking His Kingdom first. We hold God’s gifts with open hands. God gives each of us resources, experiences and abilities, so we share them generously with others. We hold fast to the mission while adapting our methods. The truth of the Gospel will never change and we trust the Holy Spirit to help us creatively reach our community.
