The “Six Principles of Relationship” emphasize the importance of being genuine by building authentic friendships that create trust and a supportive community; being respectful through active listening to foster understanding and appreciation of diverse perspectives; being humble by recognizing our limited knowledge, which encourages learning and deeper connections; being fair by acknowledging flaws in all traditions to promote a balanced view and open discussion; being discerning in recognizing differences while finding common ground to maintain belief integrity; and being discreet by handling differences with care to prevent conflict and encourage constructive conversations. Together, these principles foster understanding and respect in diverse communities.

We love on people like Jesus does. We let the light of Jesus shine through us to everyone we meet. We welcome all people to talk to us and we make ourselves approachable.

Because if we behave in a tactless way, it will lead to an unnecessary conflict between people with other religious beliefs living around us.

We should love people regardless of your beliefs. You should always respect their beliefs even if you don’t agree with them. Treat people the way you want to be treated with kindness and compassion. You should ask about their faith when it’s brought up. Open up your mind to learn about different religions . Don’ t be judgmental you will be surprised by how much common ground you have.

Be Genuine – It is important to be genuine so that others know we are truthful and believe what we say.
Be Respectful – We must respect others and show kindness so that we can develop relationship.
Be Humble – By being humble and putting others first, people will see that we truly care.
Be Fair – When we treat others fairly, we demonstrate how God treats us. Additionally, others can see our concern in treating people as we would want to be treated.
Be Discerning – Acknowledging common ground as well as differences allows us to share who Christ is and why He died and rose from the dead.
Be Discreet – When attempting to share Christ, speaking in love is always better than speaking out of hate. People will listen to someone who genuinely loves them.
