Faithful and Welcoming Principles 
Faithful and Welcoming Churches strive to be:
- Faithful... to God our Father and Creator, to Jesus Christ, our Lord and only Savior, and to the Holy Spirit
- Faithful... to the Bible as our ultimate authority for faith and practice
- Faithful... to the apostolic faith declared by the Church across the years and around the world and reaffirmed in our historic traditions
- Faithful... to the preservation of the family, and to the practice and proclamation of human sexuality as God's gift for marriage between a man and a woman
- Welcoming... to all, as we seek through repentance and faith to do the will of God
- Welcoming... to fresh insight from the Scriptures that is consistent with our commitment to biblical authority
- Welcoming... to new ideas of how our congregations may experience health and growth to transform our world through the gospel of Jesus Christ
