Zpvs! !!!!Opuft! October 26th 2008

God has called us to be a people of excellence and integrity A person of integrity is open and honest and true to their word. He or she doesn't have any hidden agendas or ulterior motives. People of integrity are the same in private as they are in public. They do what's right whether anybody is watching or not. People of integrity give their employers a full days work; they don't come in late, leave early, or call in sick when they are not. When you have an excellent spirit, it shows up in the quality of your work, and the attitude with which you do it. If you don't have integrity, you will never reach your highest potential. Integrity is the foundation on which a truly successful life is built. Every time you compromise, every time you are less than honest, you are causing a slight crack in the foundation. If you continue compromising, that foundation will never be able to hold what God wants to build. You’ll never have lasting prosperity if you first don't have integrity. Luke 16:10 says, “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted

with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much”.

Vision Statement We seek to love God and worship Him with all of our hearts, to walk in godliness, to teach the Word of God with balance and depth, to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ enthusiastically and lovingly with our city and our world, and to build a community of mature, joyful believers who will be empowered to fulfill their God-ordained purpose and ministry.

OVERSIGHT TEAM: Pastor Shane & Glenda Whitbourn Dwayne & Cynthia Alexander

Gods people are people of excellence. Remember: You represent Almighty God. How you live, how you care for your family and do your work, is all a reflection on our God. If you want to live your best life now, whatever you do, give your best effort and do it as if you are doing it for God. If you’ll work with that standard in mind, God promises to reward you, and others will be attracted to our God. Are you willing to pay the price to do the right thing?
