PASSIONATE PURSUIT OF GOD
We are STSA – Part 4June 3, 2012

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.
LIMITLESS ACCEPTANCE
![Page 3: Passionate Pursuit of God We are STSA – Part 4 June 3, 2012](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062323/5681625d550346895dd2b687/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
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.
AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY

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.
TRANSFORMATI0NAL COMMUNAL WORSHIP

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.
