Passion for the person of God:

Perhaps the most glorious of all the truths in the Bible is that the Lord is a loving God who longs to enjoy relationship with His people. It is the privilege and duty of all who have met God to worship and adore Him. We celebrate the life of God in our midst by uniting in worship weekly and by cultivating a love relationship with Him daily.

Passion for the people of God:

Scripture is clear that one of the primary tasks of the church is the building up of believers in Jesus Christ. The church is to provide care, support, and training for believers endeavoring to live for God. In living the life of faith, we all desperately need the support, exhortation, and accountability that comes from being a significant part of God's family.

Passion for the precepts of God:

At the center of the Christian faith is the Word of God. Since God has chosen to reveal Himself through His Word, studying and meditating on the Bible are essential to our relationship with Him. Our understanding of God's Word forms the basis of our understanding of God, ourselves, and our world. An essential part of salvation is being "transformed by the renewing of our minds" (Romans 12:2).  In this day of shifting values and moral relativism, the Bible gives us timeless truths around which we can build our lives.

Passion for the purpose of God:

In God's plan for ministering to this fallen world, He has determined to work through His Church. He has commissioned His people to allow His power to work through them in such a way that He is made visible to those who do not know Him. This is accomplished when the Church builds up the spiritual lives of its people so that, as they participate in society on any and every level, the reality of God's presence will be evident to others, and they will be drawn to Him. This participation should include both words and works, both evangelism and social concern.
