A Loving Church

The hallmark showing that we really "get" our faith is whether or not we show love for others. When we accept the love of Christ, we give up the right to hate and withhold love.

This does not mean that we create some weird utopia where everything is perfect, and there is no struggle. Deeper than that, it means that our love is not transactional or conditional. We choose to love each other through our struggles and difficulties. Is that easy? No. Is it worth it? Absolutely.

As the church, we are called to a transformational love with one another. This love should spill over into the world around us that is aching for truth, humility, and authenticity.
