Prayer is the foundation to a person's spiritual life.

The Bible is God's Word given to us. Reading the Bible helps us grow in our knowledge of God and equips us for the work we are called to do.
Obey.

"Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love." (1 Cor. 16:13-14). This brief and glorious text calls Christians to live for the glory of God at all times and in all ways. Paul concludes his first letter to the Church at Corinth by giving five commands: be alert, stand firm, act like men, be strong, and do everything in love.
​
It is our desire to obey these commands and be an encouragement to other men to likewise live in this manner. Together we will pursue Christ-likeness, increasingly becoming godly men of conviction rooted in the Scriptures and courageous men of action as we walk by faith in the strength and power of the Holy Spirit - fearing God rather than men. We will do this seeking always to love the Lord our God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength; and, to love others as ourselves.
​
We strive to be men like Ezra who had set his heart to study the law of the LORD and to practice it, and to teach His statutes and ordinances in Israel (Ezra 7:10). We understand that to lead men well we must first and always be studying the Word of God and living it out in our own lives. Only then, by the grace and mercy of God, are we able to proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ (Colossians 1:28).
