We affirm the freedom and responsibility of every person to relate directly to God without the imposition of creed or the control of clergy or government. We believe in diversity and oppose racism, sexism, violence and hatred. We are committed to protecting and preserving the earth and the environment. We are filled with joy and celebrate the freedom of Christianity. | |
| BIBLE FREEDOM |

| CHURCH FREEDOM |
|
| We believe in the autonomy of our local church.
