We are Disciples of Jesus Christ

We follow Jesus[1] – by repenting of our sin,[2] taking up our cross[3] and his yoke upon ourselves and learning from him,[4] and loving him by keeping his commandments.[5]

We love the Lord our God with all of our hearts, and with all of our souls, and with all of our strength, and with all of our minds – and our neighbors as ourselves.[6]

We live as Christ’s Body[7] in the Kingdom of God,[8] serving, saving, and blessing the world[9] as an expression of God’s will,[10] by the power of the Holy Spirit, who gifts, goads, guards, and guides us into all truth[11] through unceasing prayer,[12] formation in God’s Word,[13] and the communion of the Saints.[14]
