CORE VALUES SCRIPTURES: They are infallible, inerrant and inspired by God. (2 Tim. 3:16). PRAYER: We will only experience God’s direction and power when we pray. (Acts 1:14, 4:31)
CORE VALUES EXCELLENCE: Offering God only the best possible for His Glory (Mal.1:13, 14 Col. 3:23,24) WORSHIP: Realizing that authentic worship is in effect every day of our lives. (Rom. 12:1, 2) Offering acceptable and contemporary musical worship.
CORE VALUES COMMUNITY: God created us for relationships. Authentic relationships are best fostered and encouraged in a small group setting. (Acts 2:42-47) MARRIAGE OF GRACE AND TRUTH: Using grace when we communicate truth. (John 1:14)
CORE VALUES UNSAVED PEOPLE: Lost people matter to God and therefore matter to all followers of Christ. We will seek to develop relationships and ways to have contact with those who do not know Christ for the purpose of bringing them one stop closer to the Truth. (Luke 15) MINISTRY: Christ followers need to be equipped effectively to accomplish the mission God has for them. (Eph. 4:11-13)
