Our Ideals

We desire to be eager, joyful, consistent Christians who glorify God
the Father through the Son in the Holy Spirit.

We desire to love God through lives of holiness and daily prayer
and worship. As disciples of Christ, we desire to follow him
faithfully, even through trials.

We desire to live an active Liturgical and Sacramental life.

We desire to be good members of the universal and local Church.

We desire to actively work to spread the gospel and to strengthen
the universal and local Church.

We desire to be good stewards of our time and resources.

We desire to maintain the Christian way of life as practiced through
the centuries as well adapted as possible to modern circumstances
but upholding integral elements even when those elements may not
be recognized by all Christians today, including:

• relationships of peace
• speech that builds up
• faithfulness to commitments
• respect for order and authority

We desire to be good members of a body of Christians who
together desire to be disciples of Christ and serve the Lord:
• with a readiness for service
• active in maintaining brotherly/sisterly relations with other
community members, living with all the other members in
Christian love
• desiring to know our deficiencies and seek the help of
others in overcoming them
• using our men’s and our women’s groups and our relationship
with a community leader to grow in the Lord and in our common
way of life.
