Pastoral Philosophy:
The Church should exist primarily to glorify God and to edify the people. All
people should be valued and respected for their personal dignity and worth. The
Church should inspire and challenge person's to pursue excellence in totality
(mind-body-spirit).
The church should be a leader in the community and actively involved in
fostering enhanced opportunities for growth and enrichment. The Church must
promote the ideals of unity, faith, and love as key to building a strong Church
that makes a difference beyond a Sunday Worship.
