Welcoming Church
God is love and he wants everyone to come within the reach of his saving
embrace. Therefore, everyone is welcomed, all races, classes, and ages.
Worshipping Church
Human beings were created in God’s image to worship and praise him.
Therefore worship is central to our life and vitality in God. For worship
to be relevant it must be “in Spirit and in Truth.” The Holy
Spirit is always creating and recreating our expressions of worship, but
worship also must be rooted in the eternal historic Truth – Jesus
Christ as received by the early Church and handed down through the centuries.
Caring Church
Jesus is the Great Shepherd of the sheep. He formed small groups to care
for and nurture his disciples and followers as he taught them to be his
ministers.
Therefore, we too will use small groups as places to nurture and care
for His disciples as we learn to be his ministers and do His work.
Growing Church
The Community of Faith is a growing living organism. We grow individually
as his disciples and we grow corporately as his Church.
Therefore we go, making disciples who become the Body of Christ, His Church,
who then go and do the same.
Giving Church
God has called his people to be like Him; “cheerful givers.”
Therefore we give physically, financially and spiritually to those people
who are in need and to those ministries that care for those in need.
Praying Church
Jesus said, “My house will be called a House of Prayer for all people.”
Therefore, we will give ourselves to prayers of confession, intercession,
forgiveness, and faith as we seek the mind of Christ in all things.
Historic Church
Seeds of Hope desires to be rooted in the foundation laid by Jesus Christ
the Chief Cornerstone and His Apostles.
Therefore the ordering of the Church will be grounded in Holy Scripture,
the Ancient Creeds and Liturgies of the Early Church and the first four
Centuries as received and adapted by the Anglican Communion in America.
