It is a community that exemplifies godliness, upholding biblical norms to counteract iniquity and rebellion. The church is not just a place of worship, but a hub of resource organization for the common good, underpinned by a strong sense of management to advance its mission. However, the church is also mindful of the dangers of overlooking the marginalized. It champions the cause of the underrepresented, advocating for their redemption and the provision of necessary support.

The metadidomic genius, with magisterial insight, straightens the crooked, fills valleys of fear, and levels rough edges, ensuring everything builds up the house (1 Cor 14:26).
