18. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
We exist by God’s grace and for His glory to gather with many in our community to worship God in spirit and in truth; to faithfully share the message of salvation; to make disciples who know and obey God through His Word; to be a church family that loves and nurtures one another and to be a witness in our community and beyond. I am passionate about faith, family and freedom. I am a social and fiscal conservative who believes in traditional American values of self-reliance, independence, liberty and fiscal responsibility. I strive to live “Coram Deo” – before the face of God, everyday. I am Pro-Life, Pro-Adoption, Pro-Family, Pro-Marriage and Pro-Education.
