1. Jesus is the Center: We know God changes lives through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We will not waiver in our focus on Jesus and the calling He has for the church.
2. Reaching Far: God wants to reach more people, and He wants to work through us. We don’t want to be boxed in by the walls and boxed in by self-centered thinking.
3. Culturally Relevant: Things are changing fast. We don’t want to settle for comfort, but change for impact. Our methods will change but our message stays the same.
4. Growing Together: Our goal is to help each person grown as a follower of Jesus Christ. God desires for us to trust Him to lead every area of our lives.
5. Serving Others: We are spiritual contributors and not spiritual consumers. We honor God by putting others above ourselves.
6. Connecting in Groups: Following Christ is not a solo journey. We want to build relationships with others who can encourage and challenge us in our walk with God.
7. Welcoming All: If you are a guest, we want to welcome you and make this visit a great one. Our church will be user-friendly and inviting to those who are new.
8. Blessing the Future: The world is not an easy place to navigate. We want to invest in the kids and youth of our church, so a strong, God-centered foundation can be built in their lives.
9. Value Excellence: The little things matter and the big things matter. Everything we do we must do it for Christ. We will constantly assess, raise the standards, and not be afraid to invest in quality.
