God is the reigning King of the universe and as citizens of His kingdom, we submit to His authority and our allegiance belongs to Him. God is to be exalted and treasured above all things. God does not exist for us but we were created by Him and for Him. Everything was created and exists for God’s pleasure. He is sovereign, holy, loving and just and everything we do must be centered in Him. We oppose a man-centered version of Christianity that places our felt needs, pleasures and comforts at the center of our faith. It is our passion to pursue God and to make His name great among the nations. This God-centered view determines how we understand missions, suffering, giving, and community.
