What We Value
Values are the non-negotiable foundation upon which unity in ministry is built and define who we are and who we hope to become. They are the basis for consistent decision making and evaluation.
The Power of Prayer
- Through prayer and sensitivity to the leading of the Holy Spirit, we seek to be a part of what God is doing in our world.
The Bible is the Inspired Word of God
- Bold and uncompromising communication of the message of God's Word is a catalyst for life change.
- The Bible's message is unchanging, but will be communicated in a culturally relevant way that makes sense for today's world.
Reaching People Who Are Far From God
- All people matter to God and therefore to us.
- Every believer has the responsibility to build relationships with people who are far from God, share a verbal witness with them, and invite them to a seeker accessible worship service.
Acceptance
- All people will be accepted regardless of ancestry, social status, or personal situation.
- Every effort will be made to create a welcoming environment and a safe place for all people to experience a relationship with God.
Authentic Worship
- Worship that is from the heart, in the spirit of truth, can be life changing and a powerful witness to God's life transforming grace.
Loving Relationships Within Small Groups
- Small groups are the best place for people to feel part of the body of Christ.
- Ministry is best accomplished through supportive teams that encourage relationships.
A Continuous Process of Growth
- Full devotion to Jesus Christ is normal and includes a life-long process of spiritual growth.
Good and Consistent Stewardship
- God invites people to bring His blessing into their lives by regularly giving Him a tithe (10%) of what He has given to them.
A Servant Attitude
- People will find joy and fulfillment as they discover their spiritual gifts and abilities, then use them in service to God and to others.
Excellence that Honors God and Inspires People
- Excellence does not mean perfection. It means giving our best to God in everything we do. God deserves nothing less.
