We learn through our study of God's Word, the Bible. We learn through faithful exposition of the Bible in our corporate worship and our Sunday School classes. We learn through training our children in various settings and ways. We learn through Bible studies and discussions led by godly men and women. We learn through interacting with each other.
Our growing knowledge of God inspires us to worship Him. We worship together on Sunday mornings as a large body. We worship through corporate prayer. We worship through singing. We worship through corporately reading God's Word, reflecting on historic Christian Confessions and the Creeds of the Church. We worship individually and in smaller groups throughout the week.
Our relationship with God compels us to love each other. We love each other by serving each other. We love our community by serving the people of Saratoga County. We love each other by fostering encouraging relationships. In fellowship we come to know one another and through that knowledge meet each other's needs. By loving one another in words and in deeds, we become Christ's community of refuge and hope where healing can occur.
Our joy from knowing Jesus makes us want to extend God's hope to others. We extend God's hope by reaching out to the communities around us. We extend God's hope by knowing and loving our neighbors. We extend God's hope by speaking about Christ and His work as often as we can. We extend God's hope by supporting local workers and organizations devoted to sharing Christ with others in our area. We extend God's hope by supporting workers who go around the globe to share Christ with others.
