We value Spiritual Life. We understand we are unaware of the mind and ways of Christ until we come to know him as Savior. His greatest gift to us is the Life we experience in our spirit. We are set free from the bondage of death. (John 10:10; Romans 8:11; Jude 1:21; John 8:36)
We value Unchanging Truth. We believe that an absolute God designed absolute truth and that it can be known through the Bible. (2 Timothy 3:16; Psalm 31:5; Isaiah 65:16)
We value the Work of an Active God. This simply means that we believe God works through the unexplainable, such as prayer, and the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of His followers.
(1 Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 28:21; Isaiah 45:15; Isaiah 55:8; 1 Corinthians 2:14)
We value Community. True Biblical Community consists of shared lives, acceptance of one another and accountability. Community in the Body of Christ is built upon unity in Christ which produces peace in the lives of believers and in the actions of the Community. We will pursue these aspects of community life. (Acts 2:41-47; John 15:12-17)
We value Transparent and Open Relationships. We believe that spiritual growth happens in a healthy community of believers. Therefore, it is imperative to be transparent and open in our relationships. (Acts 2:45; Romans 7:14-25)
We value Creativity as a Gift from God. Imagine this...God created all that exists. We believe that one of the most fulfilling ways we can join him in his creative work is to share the gifts of creativity He has given us. We will serve each other and glorify God by nurturing and using these gifts in our world. (2 Chronicles 2:7, Psalm 8:3-8; Exodus 31:1-11; Proverbs 31:31; Ephesians 2:10; James 3:9)
We value Spiritual Relevance. We believe the teaching and study of the Bible should be easily applied to everyday life. We will strive to make the truth of His Word applicable in the 21st Century. (1 Corinthians 9:20; Galatians 2:11-14; John 4:9-14)
We value an Open-Arm Stance Toward ALL people. God values ALL people, therefore we should value ALL people. That doesn’t mean an acceptance of unhealthy lifestyles or behaviors, it simply means ALL are invited to journey with us in finding God’s best for our lives. (Romans 3:21-26; Galatians 3:28)
We value Being God’s Hand and Feet in Our City, Neighborhoods and around the world. Jesus walked among people in His time on Earth and he modeled service. We want to follow that model and make a positive difference in our city, in our neighborhoods and around the world. (Matthew 28:18-20; John 13:14)
We value an Environment of HOPE. That’s what we find when we read the Bible, therefore, we commit to create that experience in our worship times and group gatherings. Those who join us will find hope in the midst of a culture of hopelessness. (Psalm 42:11; Psalm 130:5; Proverbs 23:18; Matthew 12:21)
We value Organic Growth through Mulitiplication. As Jesus spoke His last words on Earth, he commanded us to “go” and make disciples. In the book of Acts we read of phenomenal growth in the Body of Christ. We believe that it is the heart of God to see people come into His Kingdom through organic growth at the rate of multiplication, not addition. (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:41-47)
