CORE VALUES
We believe some of the most important VALUES that will help us
accomplish our mission are:
Come to Faith
Engaging, accessible, and relevant worship
“Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us and not we ourselves, we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.” (Psalm 100)
Offering radical hospitality by making room for one another and welcoming all people to be part of the family of faith
“Just as you do it to one of the least of these, you do it to me.” (Matthew 25:40)
Grow in Faith
Commitment and focus on children, youth, and family ministry
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” (Matthew 19:14)
Dynamic small group life and personal discipleship
emphasis centered in God’s Word
“Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20)
An ever-deepening prayer life
Pray without ceasing, (1 Thessalonians 5:17)
Share the Faith
Serving others through intentional mission and outreach
as well as personal evangelism
“We are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works.” (Eph 2:10)
Abundant giving of time, resources, and gifts
“Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.” (1 Timothy 6:18)
Caring for one another and our community
“Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:28)
