God is love and wants to communicate inwardly with everyone who is willing.
Worship is spiritual and must be Spirit-led.
All people are equal before God and may minister as they are led by God.
Jesus Christ is our present Teacher and Lord, and we seek to conduct church affairs in unity under his guidance.
The Spirit of God gives guidance that is consistent with the Bible.
As people respond to the Light of Christ within, their lives begin to reflect Jesus' peace, integrity, simplicity and moral purity.
