Three Traditions Converge
Liturgical/sacramental
With great respect for the ancient liturgy (work of the people)
of the church, we use forms of liturgy that conform to the ancient shape of the liturgy of both the Eastern and Western church.
Charismatic
God provided "grace gifts" in accordance with the needs
of the Body of Christ. These gifts are "as the Lord directs" and
are expected to function in the lives of Spirit-filled believers.
These Spiritual Gifts may be expressed in worship but most importantly
are evident in the daily walk of the child of God. Our worship
reflects the convergence of charismatic, liturgical, and contemporary
with the traditions of past generations.
Evangelical
Generally this term is used to emphasize a personal relationship
and commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior; the Bible as
the inspired Word of God; and the need for evangelism. In keeping
with the "Chicago Call of 1977," we stand firmly committed
to the historic evangelical faith understanding the need to recover
our common roots to faithfully transmit the gospel to the world
today.
