HNLC Church family news
These bits n pieces (up to two-years on file) give a public idea of what lies at the heart of our church life - ie. that we are built on a relational model of Christian community, rather than performance model. Theologically, this is about sonship preceding servanthood... We do get to the doing stuff, yes - but the essence of our worth to God and one another is in the fact we are born of one and the same Spirit, and are equally valued by our heavenly Father, BEFORE we are differentiated by our God-given grace giftings.
