Our values are beliefs that we hold in common and endeavor to put into practice and use to guide us as we do God’s work.
We value worshiping together in a way that inspires people to draw close to God and express sincere appreciation for who He is and what He has done. We value the creativity that God places within people. He made people to be creative. We encourage our people to use their God-given creativity while serving Him.
We value the development of authentic Christian community among believers that produces intimate relationship with God and other believers and results in ministry to and development of the whole person.
We value the truths of the New Covenant, which are: God has chosen to be our God; Christians are God’s children; God forgives our sin through faith in Jesus Christ; God does not remember our sin once it is forgiven; God puts His ways on our minds so we understand them; God puts His ways on our hearts so we obey them; the Holy Spirit indwells Christians.
We value evangelism that develops appropriate ministries and encourages believers to cultivate authentic relationships with non-Christian people to identify with their basic needs and lead them into relationship with Jesus Christ. We desire to expand God’s kingdom into uncharted areas.
We value the growth of loving relationships among believers in our congregation.
We value humility from our people and multiculturalism that encourages interest in many cultures within our communities and society.
We value our leaders to be servants who are honest and real while fulfilling their calling. They are to serve the congregation and our society.
We value organic grassroots ministries designed to help believers discover, develop and exercise their God-given spiritual gifts as well as their natural talents and acquired skills in life and ministry.
We value flexible and fluid ministry structures that contribute effectively and efficiently to the fulfillment of our mission and vision. We are not reluctant to end programs or ministries that no longer serve a purpose.
