It is in Jesus Christ that our identity is found. Through his sacrificial death on the cross he absorbed God's wrath for our sins. As a result, he made a way for us to become part of God's family as adopted sons and daughters. It is within the framework of this truth that our identity is found in Christ. As a result we desire to inhabit these five Christ-centered characteristics identifying us as belonging to Him.

Worshipers

We are worshipers of God who have responded to His call to worship by living for His glory. (Romans 12:1; John 4:23-24; Hebrews 10:1)

Family

We are children of God who live and care for each other as a family. (Genesis 12:1-3; John 1:12-13; Romans 12:10-16)

Disciples

We are students of Jesus who take responsibility for our own spiritual development and the spiritual development of others. (Luke 2:52; Matthew 28:18-20; Ephesians 4:11-13; 2 Timothy 2:2)

Servants

We are servants of God who serve others with our lives because Christ Himself came to serve and to give His life for us. (Matthew 20:25-28; 25:31-46; John 13:1-17; Philippians 2:5-11; 1 Peter 2:16)

Missionaries

We are missionaries sent by God to restore humanity to Himself. This is accomplished through sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ empowered by the Holy Spirit. (John 1:14; John 20:21; Colossians 1:19; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21)
