7. A Center for Thinking Christians

We want to be a resource for people who think seriously about the teachings of Christianity, who are struggling with their faith, or who desire to see the relevance of Christianity to current thought and issues in our culture.

8. An Integrated Family Church

We want to build up Christian families and aid those who must live in broken homes to give children healthy bonding between those different generations. While we realize there must be times for separate teachings and activities, we encourage an approach to church and family life that leads to harmony and togetherness.

We also affirm biblical order in the home and church, with the man functioning as a servant leader and the woman serving as helper and nurturer. In a loving spiritual order, children can be reared in a healthy environment.
