Growth and Transformation in the Ancient New Way--We want to emphasize the diverse ways that God, through the Holy Spirit, transforms us into the likeness of Christ.  We seek to nurture an environment of openness to God's Spirit, so that as we place ourselves in that environment he will put more of Christ's character and personality within us (John 15; 2 Corinthians 3; Galatians 5).  We recognize the reading and study of Scripture, prayer, worship, fellowship, service, rest, confession, and fasting as some of the ways that God transforms us.
