TRUTH is our guiding light, and as God’s Word, in both the Incarnate and written form, is Truth, the LORD Jesus and the Bible are our foundations. We use philosophy, psychology, the hard sciences, theology, history, literature and the humanities focused through the lens of God’s word in pursuit of meaning and understanding.
