A Christ follower honors God’s call to participate in community in order to grow in Christlikeness, to express and receive love and to carry out the ministry of the church.
For this reason, Christ followers give priority to attending the corporate gatherings of the church for the purpose of worship, teaching and participation in the sacrament of communion, and are connected relationally to a small group of believers for the purpose of mutual encouragement, support, and accountability.
Christ followers also:
- pursue Christ-honoring relationships at home, within the church and in the marketplace, and are committed to pursuing the biblical pattern of reconciliation when conflict arises.
- support the leadership of the church and are biblically submissive to it.
- affirm and uphold the fundamental truths of Scripture (as summarized in our statement of faith) and refrain from promoting other doctrines in ways that cause dissension.
