Corporate Core Values
A Commitment to Biblical Authority and Truth
We value the life application of Biblical truth. We believe that God’s word is timeless and relevant to the common needs of all people (II Timothy 3:16) Therefore we are committed to teach, model and live out God’s truth in real life.
A Commitment to Reaching People for Jesus
We value that Jesus was sent to redeem all people by His grace (Romans 3:23-24). We believe that we are called to bring restoration to every receptive heart (II Co. 5:19-20). Therefore we will pursue an externally focused mission of transformation in the marketplace, community and the world.
A Commitment to Discipleship and Ministry
We value encouraging, equipping and enlisting every child of God into ministry (Eph. 4:12-13). We believe that God has created us to use His grace and our efforts to do good for others
(Eph. 2:8-10). Therefore, it is our goal to empower people to pursue their ministry passions
and to develop leaders who will influence their world for Christ.
A Commitment to Prayer and Worship
We value the exaltation of God that comes through worship and prayer (I Thess. 5:16-18).
We believe that this honors God and feeds the soul of every Christian. Therefore, we aspire to be a fellowship that enables people to be seekers of God’s presence and whose ministries and activities will be characterized by dependence upon God.
A Commitment to Biblical Community
We value authentic Christ-centered community. We believe that this provides the best
context for people to be valued and to share and experience the life changing work of Christ (Acts 2:44-47a). Therefore, we will do everything that we can to offer avenues of connection and support in order that no one stands alone.
A Commitment to Grace
We value the life changing grace of God (I Co. 15:10a). We believe that God’s grace isn’t deserved or earned, but can be received by any humble heart. Therefore, we intend to bring grace to every relationship, every struggle, and to everything we do. |
