|
| Our Values: |
 |
His Word |
| |
|
God’s Word, the Bible, is truth and is relevant right now and completely sufficient to address all that we encounter. It is His love letter to mankind, authoritative & inerrant in message – the very words of God! (2 Ti 3:16, 2 Pe 1:20-21, 1 Pe 4:11, Jn 17:17, Eph 1:13) |
|
Relationship |
| |
|
We understand from Jesus’ ministry that relationship is the means by which God has chosen to reach the world. It is the call to which His body, the church, is inextricably tied. We embrace our relationships first with God, then with the fellowship of believers and then the world. (Gal 6:10, Mk 16:15, Jn 13:34-35, 1 Pe 1:22) |
|
Togetherness |
| |
|
We recognize that positionally in Christ, we are united. We also recognize that in this age the church is largely not practicing it’s position. We endeavor to embody Biblical togetherness not merely in title but in lifestyle. (Jn 17:20-23, Php 2:1-2, 1 Pe 3:8) |
|
Effort |
| |
|
Perfection cannot be obtained but the call to strive, to labor, in the footsteps of the Lord remains. We value genuine effort expressed and realized as growth. We understand we will fail but we train & run hard in spite of obstacles. (Mk 8:34, 1 Co 9:24-27, Ac 20:24, Heb 12:1-14) |
|
Authenticity |
| |
|
We value authenticity in relationship realizing that sin leads us to wear masks and guard our lives. Masks hide the real person – the person that God has called & created us to be. He completely accepts us as His children. We want to be real – to embrace vulnerability & genuine relationship accepting one another as Christ accepted us. (Ro 14:1-4, 15:7, 1 Co 12:1-26, Mt 7:3-5, 12, 23:13-31, Mk 8:34-36, 1 Pe3:3-4) |
|
Relevancy |
| |
|
We understand that as time goes by things change, we process things differently than generations before us. We value relevant ministries and methodologies that hold fast to truth and yet speak to those we seek to reach in meaningful ways. Ways that impact people where they’re at and prayerfully help them grasp the truth – the gospel and the Word of God. (1 Co 9:19-23, Gal 5:13,-14, 1 Co 10:31-11:1) |
