As followers of Jesus, we are called to be 'Set Apart' from the ways of the world, pursuing holiness as we live by HIS grace, for HIS glory, and in HIS power to bring about HIS Kingdom in and through HIS people. We are “Set Apart” for a purpose, to intentionally live lives of obedient faith and holiness “for the sake of HIS name among all the nations.”

We live around other CHRIST followers that have different convictions and opinions than us on things that are not essential. How we love JESUS, others and then ourselves is the key to GOD honoring peace. HIS word has the answers on how to live it out and HIS SPIRIT is in us to do so!
