Our Beliefs

We believe our mission as Christians and Christian community is found in Christ’s reply to the expert in the Law who asked, “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus said, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.” We believe that Christ defined neighbor in such broad terms that no human creature resides outside our neighborhood.
