We will be counter-cultural by loving the culture enough to share with all the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

A ship is not a body of water. The two (ship and water) are distinct from one other, actually countering one another. The ship displaces water and the water keeps the ship afloat. A ship is only truly a ship when it is on the body of water. It is good for the ship to be on the water. It is not good when the water fills the ship.

We will call our churches and our members to know the culture well in order to earn the right to be heard with the hope of Jesus Christ.

We will create, maintain and multiply a network of churches in Michigan led by Christ, supported by one another and faithful to the historic reformed understanding of the Holy Scriptures.  We will hold to the belief that the Bible continues to mean what it meant and our call is to bring that understanding to our people today.
