We see the Bible as a grand narrative that tells the story of God, humanity, redemption, and restoration. As such, it provides meaning, direction, and wisdom for our lives, and helps us find our places in the story. There have been a lot of technical words and definitions that Christians have used to describe the nature of the Bible's authority over the past 50 years. But we probably like Scot McKnight's suggestion the most: that the Bible is "trustable truth that summons us to live differently." Hope this helps. Norton Hey Don,

Knowing Jesus is foundational, but what else do you envision? Thanks! It would be interesting to see more about your orientation to Scriptural authority.

I am currently visiting with my oldest son in the Denver area. I am praying about moving here. I would like to know more about what visions you have for the church.

A small suggestion - you might have your site feature more of what your church's distinct attributes are hoped to be. (Denver has a lot of good churches! What will make you different?)
