We work to establish Christ-centered relationships and to treat each other as children of God.<\/li>\n<li>We believe ourselves to be a part of the whole people of God &#8211; past, present, and future &#8211; and therefore gather regularly to praise God in Spirit-led, biblically-based worship.<\/li>\n<li>To our community and world we extend God&#8217;s love and declare God&#8217;s reign by calling others to Christian discipleship and fellowship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We seek to live in faithful partnership with other Christian groups and to serve sacrificially in our community and world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maple Grove Church of God is one part of the whole body of Christ.
