Our Priorities: Core Values

Those things most dear to us ... the non-negotiables of our fellowship ... the things we "must" do. Our values!

Christ

We believe that an attitude of full devotion to Christ and His cause is normal for every believer.

Bible

We believe that the Bible is the authoritative Word of God and the standard for all belief, instruction, and practice.

Worship

We believe that man was created to worship his creator, and that authentic, Christ-centered worship, glorifies God ... deepens our relationship with God ... and builds the Kingdom of God.

Prayer

We believe that active participation in prayer is essential to our spiritual vitality and survival, both individually and collectively.

Authenticity

We believe that only by living lives of authenticity and integrity can we truly glorify and honor God.

Love

We believe that loving people through caring and healing relationships is the responsibility of every believer.

Evangelism

We believe that Christ died for the lost and calls every believer to build bridges through which they can share their faith with the lost.

Discipleship

We believe that spiritual growth happens best within the context of biblical community, which includes the practice of mentoring, small groups, and discipleship.

Service

We believe that the church should operate as a unified community of servants stewarding their spiritual gifts.

Excellence

We believe that a standard of excellence honors God and reflects His character.

Culturally Relevant

We believe that the church must be culturally relevant while remaining doctrinally pure.

Family

We believe that the family unit has been divinely established and is best protected and preserved by keeping Christ first.

Diversity

We believe that all people are valued and loved by God regardless of age or ethnicity.

Stewardship

We believe that all that we have belongs to God and should be used for His glory.
