We accept that we, as children of God, are powerless over other people; that we cannot truly control what they do or why they do it; that free will assigns accountability to each person.

We understand that we must provide an abiding example of Christian faith and love to others, so that they may discern the “next right thing” to do (rather than believing the self-deception that tells us we are in control).

We strive each day to grow in knowledge of ourselves and one another, so that we might understand the human and spiritual gifts each of us is blessed with, for the glory of the Lord.

We rededicate ourselves every day to growing in our understanding of the vast expanse (yet individual focus) of God’s grace and how we are to use our spiritual gifts.
