We believe that through Jesus Christ, we have been given the privilege of being adopted into God's family (Eph. 1:5) and the right to be called children of God (John 1:12). From that point on, everything we do ought to stem from a position of abiding in the love of our Heavenly Father (John 15). When we focus on being loved by God, and grow in our understanding of His love for us, the natural byproduct is that we become His love to those around us (1 John 4:19). God is not looking for people to do things for Him, but instead He invites us to work alongside Him as His friends (John 15:15) and ambassadors (2 Cor. 5:20) to expand His kingdom. As we move along through life, it is our privilege to share the gospel and disciple others in their new identity as God's children.
