  1. Passionate Pursuit of God We are STSA – Part 4 June 3, 2012

  2. LIMITLESS ACCEPTANCE We believe that every person who enters our church is the most important person in the world. That person is sent by God and should be loved and accepted as such.

  3. AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY We believe God created the church to fulfill our relational needs in addition to our spiritual needs. We reject superficiality in relationships with one another just as we reject superficiality in our relationship with God.

  4. TRANSFORMATI0NAL COMMUNAL WORSHIP We gather to be transformed by the real Presence of God in our midst every time we meet. Liturgical prayer is not just a routine; it is life giving and real. It is the center of our life as a family.

  5. PASSIONATE PURSUIT OF GOD We don’t stop worshipping after we leave the church. We seek to live passionate lives for God, pursuing Him every day through prayer, Bible reading, giving, witnessing and everything we do.
