Our Core Values
Christ-likeness
Spiritual growth is the life-long process of becoming imitators of Christ. As we nurture a lifestyle of purity, holiness and Christian character, we please God and influence others.
(Ephesians 5:1-5; Philippians 2:1-11; Galatians 5:22-23; Ephesians 4:13-16; 2 Peter 1:5-9)
Intimacy With God
We share God’s desire for a dynamic relationship that is cultivated by the consistency of prayer and worship and through understanding and applying the Word of God.
(Josh. 1:8; Psalms 1:1-3; 139; Jere. 29:11-13; Acts 2:42; Matt. 6:5-15; Hebrews 4:12-13; James 1:22)
Authenticity
We know that how we represent ourselves is a reflection of who we are. This collective expression is made genuine as each pursues integrity, sound character and Biblical morality.
(Proverbs 12:15; Proverbs 27:17; Romans 12:9-18; Philippians 2:12-15; 1 Peter 2:12)
Family Relationships
We desire that each in the community of believers serve and be served through a network of caring and nurturing relationships. One-on-one friendships and small group commitments facilitate growth and foster healthy interdependence.
(John 13:34-35; Acts 2:42-47; 4:32; Galatians 6:1-10; 1 Peter 2:4-5)
Faithful Generosity
As God has equipped us with talents, abilities and resources, we believe that each is to develop and utilize these gifts, thereby maximizing our potential as a church family.
(Proverbs 22:9; Matthew 10:8; Romans 12:1-8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-14; 2 Corinthians 9:6-11)
Reconciliation
We believe that the local church is an agent of healing and hope for the world, and are committed to sharing the faith of Christ Jesus with non-believers of every ethnic orientation.
(2 Corinthians 2:14-16; 4:1-6; 5:17-21; Acts 1:8; 4:31; Matthew 28:19-20)
