Ten core values bring clarity to the things that matter most. They guide how we achieve our mission, influencing major leadership decisions as well as everyday ministry plans and help us navigate issues. They keep us focused on the unique call God has given our church.
CORE VALUES:
Christ Centered Spirit empowered proclamation of God’s Word
We believe vibrant growth happens when Christ Centered Spirit empowered proclamation of God’s Word is the engine driving the personal and corporate activities of the church.
Inspiring worship
We believe inspiring worship of God’s renown is pleasing to Him and necessary for the healthy heart of every believer.
Spirit-led prayer
We believe Heaven and earth is moved when the body engages in spirit-led prayer.
Empowering gift-oriented ministry
We believe the body functions best in empowering gift-oriented ministry; when church leaders help people discover their spiritual-gifts and call, and equip them to fulfill it.
Kingdom-minded living
We believe kingdom-minded living is the essence of Christianity, representing God’s character in relationships and working to bring about his good will in tangible reality on earth.
Excellence
We believe excellence, working as for the Lord in everything we do, invigorates people and worships God.
Vulnerability as key to intimate community
We believe vulnerability is the key to intimate community; we gather in small groups that meet practical needs of one another and the community and apply biblical insights to life.
Service-oriented evangelism
We believe evangelism is most effective through loving deeds. We are aspire to see churches planted where there is no access to the gospel.
Functional church leadership structures
We believe functional church leadership structures are best when effectiveness is clarified, power is shared, conversation is honest, accountability is real, and unity is priority.
Bold faith
We believe God blesses people that step out in bold faith, and we celebrate radical obedience that is willing to move into the unknown to obey God where he leads.
