Rules
We exist to share Jesus. Which means we exist to share judgement-free faith.
Big Life C.C. is "big tent faith," meaning that the church makes room for any who come to seek Jesus.
We agree to set aside our differences in individual faith journey, lifestyle, and political perspective
in order to seek Jesus alongside one another with encouragement, positivity, generosity, patience, and humility.

"In essentials, unity; in opinions, liberty; in all things love."
In essential beliefs - we have unity.
There is one body and one Spirit-just as you were called to one hope when you were called-one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all, (Ephesians 4:4-6).
In non-essential beliefs - we have liberty.
Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters… Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? …So then, each of us will give an account of himself to God… So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God,(Romans 14:1, 4, 12, 22).
In all our beliefs - we have charity.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing, (1 Corinthians 13:2).
