What does this mean for the practical life of our church?

Although our church started as a Slavic church in the American context, we see it as an international and intercultural church, where people speak different languages and value different traditions. We love the country of our residence and the country of our origin. We believe that the eternal Word of God remains relevant in any context and speaks to all generations, peoples, and cultures.

Although the younger generations predominantly speak English, and the older ones predominantly in Russian and Ukrainian, we want to preserve and develop all these languages to respect the past and care for the future. We love our youth and we love our parents. We value the unity of generations.

Although our church has many different ministries, differing in language and style, we have one united church, which is united by a common vision and leadership. We love both diversity and unity.

Although our main concern is connected with the future of our young generations, we want to be a missionary church, obedient to the Holy Spirit and open to changes. We are ready to serve everyone, near and far, and ready to change in order to fulfill the Great Commission more effectively. We love Jesus, love people, and love being part of God’s mission – both in church service and on missionary trips, and in supporting missionaries and partner churches.
