Our Core Values
- Connective worship: We seek to honor Christ, celebrate the Triune God’s grace and communicate His truth in ways that are helpful for all who worship: young and old, friends, members, and seekers alike.
- Expectant prayer: We pray with growing expectancy and increased fervency, seeking to know God and His will, opening ourselves to His Spirit’s leading. We believe that prayer covers all of life and every aspect of our ministry.
- Faithful Witness: We share the unchanging message of Jesus Christ by building relationships where we live, work, study, and play. We believe that those outside of a relationship to God matter and therefore ought to matter to the church.
- Helpful Service: We extend loving, dignity-enhancing, concrete help to people in our community who struggle to meet basic human needs.
- Caring Community: We care for one another as a community, sharing together and loving each other through all stages of life, assisting one another in times of special need.
- Intentional Discipleship: We pursue maturity of heart and mind, disciple one another in the faith, assist one another to follow Christ fully, and encourage all to use their gifts in service.
- Purposeful Unity: We maintain the unity of our body, seek interaction of all members in our life and work, and carefully listen to one another, so that Christ is honored and our ministry is effective.
- Cultural Diversity: We embrace within each ministry the cultural/ethnic diversity in our community and promote greater racial understanding, healing, and equality.
- Generous Sharing: We warmly welcome our community to enjoy God’s beauty in well-maintained facilities and generously support other local, regional, national, and international ministries.
- Consistent Excellence: We seek excellence in all that we undertake so that God will be honored in our life and ministry.
