THE NEAL'S

​

Authenticity - It’s time for Christians to be real and transparent.  It's not about putting on a show.  It's about real people in a real world serving a real God. 

Love - Specifically God’s kind of love, is the most important thing.  God loves us selflessly and He will go to any length to attain our well-being.  He is committed to us, and His commitment is not based on feelings.  He loves us no matter what. Based on His love, we must love others.  Our faith depends on love to work effectively.  Love confronts and corrects.  Our success and happiness in life depend on realizing that God loves us and on practicing love toward other people. 

The Word - The value of the written Word of God can’t be overstated.  It is the most relevant and the most reliable guide to success in every area of life.  It is the number one way that God reveals Himself and His will to us.  It provides the basis for our faith, and faith comes by hearing the Word.  The Word brings health and life to our bodies.  

Faith - Faith is a valuable tool.  We use it to receive whatever we need from God, whether it’s salvation, healing, wisdom, prosperity, or anything else promised in the Word.  Everyone can receive these promises because God has given faith to each and every one of us.  The Bible says that we live by faith and that faith is the victory that overcomes the world.  Learning to walk in simple faith is the ticket to living the full life that God has for us.

Relationships - We value strong family relationships in our natural families and in our church family.  The keys to these sound relationships are love and the unselfish service to one another.  Strong relationships provide instruction in the ways of the Lord and a place of accountability; they provide a sense of commitment, belonging and acceptance, where the needs of the individual are met.   

Worship -  We value scriptural praise and worship music, that will renew your mind to the things of God and build your faith.  Worship goes beyond what we sing in church, though.  Every aspect of a person’s life, when lived for God, is an act of worship. We feel that all worship should have God at it focus, so our lives should be a perpetual lifestyle of worship with God as our focus.
