"This is how a faith family community can be a testimony. A church that loves and is gracious with one another shows the world a glimpse of the same grace and love that God gives. Even in the midst of differences, when our gifts come together they create a masterpiece full of color and chords, strengthened and bound together. This is a beautiful witness for a world that is becoming more and more polarized. In the words of Brethren pastor, Don Fitzkee, in the most recent Messenger, “Maybe our witness for this time is to show the world how people who see some things quite differently can be reconciled to God and to each other and work together for the common good.” God’s love binds us together - begetting love, which begets love, which begets love, which begets love. It’s a gift that keeps on giving."
