Primary for us is the gospel understanding that all persons are important—because they are human beings created by God and loved through and by Jesus Christ and not because they have merited significance. We affirm that all persons are individuals of sacred worth, created in the image of God.
We will continue to foster a ministry environment where people can be known, loved, and belong.
