Our Values
THE BIBLE
From Genesis to Revelation, we believe that God's word is the infallible word of God that has relevant answers for today's tough questions.
Heb. 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
PEOPLE
We believe every person is a gift and has gifts to be utilized by God. Every person is a minister because ministry is who we are, not what we do.
Phil. 2:4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others
PRAYER
Prayer is powerful!
Phil. 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God
Rom. 12:12 Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
UNITY
Unity is not uniformity. Our strength is made up in our diversity!
John 17:22-23 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
COMMUNITY
Our mission is to connect and relate with everyone.
Acts 2:46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,
EVANGELISM
The church does not exist for us. We are the church that exists for the world to find & follow Jesus!
Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost
GROWTH
We like to keep things simple. Our goal is for every person to become the best version of themselves, living life with Jesus in the center.
Ephesians 4:15 Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.
GENEROSITY
We will lead the way with generosity.
Proverbs 11:25 A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed
AUTHENTICITY
We aim to be who we are, no matter who is around knowing God is all about our hearts direction, not our perfection.
Romans 12:2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.
EXCELLENCE
Jesus Christ gave His very best at the cross; we can give no less.
Colossians 3:23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
Luke 12:48b MSG …Great gifts mean great responsibilities; greater gifts, greater responsibilities!
ACCOUNTABILITY
We are accountable to Jesus & the leadership He’s placed over our lives.
Rom. 14:12 So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.
Hebrews 13:17 Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.
