This statement Is taken from Ephesians 4:15.  It conveys a dual commitment: 1) to faithfully stand for biblical truth; 2) to visibly demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ.
     First, we desire to remain true to the message of God’s Word ("speaking the truth in love").  This means we unapologetically believe that the Bible is the Word of God--wholly inspired and inerrant.  We honor it as our only infallible rule for faith and living.  We have no desire to "pick and choose" from the Bible merely that which pleases our fancy.  Rather our ambition is to proclaim "the whole counsel of God" (Acts 20:27).
     As a result, we are committed to the fundamentals of biblical faith, which we share with other evangelical, Bible-believing churches.  We also believe that the highest expression of Scriptural doctrine is found in the historic Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms.      The Bible provides us with our "marching orders"--our reason for being.  This is well summarized in what is known as the Great Commission: "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:19-20).
     In light of the Great Commission, we earnestly desire that people come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior ("I am the Way and the Truth and the Life.  No one comes to the Father except through me"--John 14:6).  Once people come to Christ, we are to train, build, and equip them so they become more Christlike from day to day and become more effective in service in his kingdom.
     While holding firmly to the truth of God’s Word, we also aim to nurture a climate of dynamic love.  This is our second over-all commitment ("speaking the truth in love").  Truth and love must always be intimately related.  Indeed, it is a climate of love that gives credibility to God’s truth before a watching world.  Christ said, "As I have loved you, so you must love one another.  By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another" (John 13:34-35).
     True biblical love is not merely sentimental; it is grounded in action--practical deeds of kindness and service (I John 3:16).  While such love with the family of God, the church, it does not end there (Galatians 3:10).  This means we strive to make ourselves relevant to this generation without compromise of biblical truth (1 Corinthians 9:19-23).
