As followers of Jesus, we serve a Savior who is very familiar with discrimination, racial profiling, sexual harassment, and using religion to justify hatred and prejudice. Yet, in all things, though tempted in every way, He lived as our perfect example of love and action, standing against injustice, and ultimately laying down His life for all of mankind.
As His followers, we are committed to living out His example in our thoughts, words and actions. So, we will daily strive to see people the way Christ sees them so we might treat them as He would. With His help, we will weed out the sin that grows in all of our hearts so we can live as His example in every circumstance. We will strive against injustice in every way, respecting the dignity and value of every human being, male and female. In summary, we will humbly serve our community and the servants of our community in a way that brings honor to Christ and provides more people opportunity to come to a saving knowledge of Him.
Jesus told us that there is only one litmus test for His followers: our love for one another. To that end, as a part of a long journey of action, we will diligently seek to grow deeper in our love for God and for others every day of our lives so that God is glorified and His love is displayed in the Permian Basin and extends to the ends of the earth.
