Values
Loving God and loving people
Our two most important values come from the greatest commandments Jesus gave us: Love God, Love Others. The first reaches deep into our souls, while the second opens wide to the world around us.
Based on the first commandment, we believe the greatest gift we can give the world is our intimacy with God, which forms the foundation for loving relationships with others.
