Values Statement

We value BIBLICAL TRUTH, because we believe God’s Word is His special revelation to us and our authority in life and faith. So, we will unapologetically teach and align all that we do with the unchanging, timeless truth of God’s Word, in ways that connects and speak into our ever-changing culture and equips people to THINK, LOVE, and LIVE like Jesus.

We value AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY, because we believe we are not meant to do life alone. So, we invite and purse 100% involvement in life groups and studies where we create intentional, life-on-life connection—where masks can be taken off and people are safe to be real, be cared for and to care for others, and be pointed to greater life in Jesus. We see this as the best and primary way for people to find connection and be discipled in the church gathering.

We value STEWARDSHIP, because we believe we are responsible with what God has entrusted to us. So, we will intentionally invest with integrity, transparency, and radical generosity—the resources of our time, gifts and abilities, and our finances—into the eternal Kingdom of God.

We value MISSIONAL LIVING, because we believe God has given all of us one mission as followers of Jesus—to go and make disciples (those who think, love and live like Jesus) here and across the world. So, we will equip every person to be a missionary, representing Him and His values, right where God has them. We commit to verbally sharing the good news of Jesus, striving to connect those who don’t know Him and His truths in ways that they can understand. We commit to and building up the church both locally and globally—through intentional global partners and local opportunities to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

We value LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, because we believe God has called all of us to have influence and build up others in the various speres of our life. So we will seek to live out ministry as a team—never going alone—but intentionally inviting others into development relationships. We invite and pursue a culture of feedback, collaboration, and accountability so that we can grow together, sharing in the call of God on our lives.

We value PRAYER, because we believe that our God is relational, He cares and guides, we can do nothing apart from Him, and in Jesus, we have direct access to Him. So we will intentionally bathe all we do in prayer—seeking wisdom and empowerment—as well as time for connection and quietness, to listen and be directed.

We value FAMILY, because the Church is the family of God, and marriage and family are foundation of society and the unique picture of Jesus and the Church in our world. So we will actively connect the unconnected into the Family of God, and intentionally build up and equip the nuclear family—strengthening marriages and families to be healthy and thrive, being the primary source of family discipleship.

We value EXCELLENCE, because He gave us His best. So we will strive to give God our best in all we do. We will strive for intentionality, effort, and heart over perfection—so that we can be our best and give our best so that God can use our efforts and plans as He wills—knowing the God ultimately brings the fruit of life change.
