Our Core Values
Jesus Christ is the way of life.
We believe Jesus is Lord (John 20:28), and that He has most clearly revealed who He is by His suffering love on a cross. Following Jesus is our first priority, and the way to experience life that is abundant (John 10:10), joy-filled (John 15:11), and everlasting (John 3:16).
All people matter to God and so they matter to us.
Jesus came into the world to offer grace and mercy to all persons no matter what path they have chosen in life (Luke 15:132;19:10). We are committed to obeying Jesus’ New Commandment (John 13:34-35) and to reaching out with the unconditional and everlasting love of Jesus to all people, just as they are, without regard to race, beliefs, gender, age, sexual identity, lifestyle, or anything else.
Following Jesus is a life-long, growing experience.
When we meet God through the love of Christ, we are changed and impelled towards spiritual maturity (Philippians 3:13-14). For this reason we strive
to bring people into an ever-growing relationship with Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19). This growth happens most often through participation in personal devotion,
community worship, and small groups.
Every Jesus follower is called to and gifted for ministry.
We believe God calls every believer to ministry, and gives every believer special gifts and abilities for faithful living and serving (1 Corinthians 12). We are committed to helping people discern their call, realize and develop their spiritual gifts and abilities, and recognize opportunities to serve as the Body of Christ in the world.
God is continually at work in us to transform the world.
We believe God is at work here and now, through the Holy Spirit, to empower and equip us for carrying out our mission (John 14:26, Acts 2:1-42). We are committed to prayerfully receiving direction from the Spirit who inspires Christ-like living, bold and innovative serving, and a changed world.
