FAITHFULNESS

We seek to live in a way that reflects Christ’s glory, listens for the Holy Spirit and honors the Kingdom of God. We believe God speaks through Scripture, Prayer, Wisdom, and ordinary Saints. Being a disciple is a lifelong journey with God.

FAMILY/COMMUNITY

We uphold Scripture’s definition of the Church as brothers & sisters in Christ. We seek to cultivate an environment that fosters belonging, safety, and authenticity; while affirming the diversity of individuals within the body of Christ, as the Triune God calls us to live together. 

SERVICE

We go out of our way to love and respect each other.  We listen to and care for each person according to their needs. We embrace and serve the image of God inherent in all people regardless of age, race, gender, religion or sexual orientation.

HUMILITY

We understand that any ‘success’ is not our doing but originates from the work of the Holy Spirit.  We boast of our own weakness and shortcomings to make more of God. We believe and practice communal discernment and power sharing for clearer perspectives of God’s way.

CELEBRATION

We cultivate joy and gratitude in any circumstance because of God’s goodness in all things. We value practices that lighten hearts and brighten faces. Life is too short not to live in the fullness of grace, as we throw off fear, shame and pride.

CREATIVITY

We see healthy ministry most when we allow the Holy Spirit to breathe through innovative and revitalized practices of Christian life.  We restrain ourselves not to quench the Spirit’s presence by being open to different ideas, perspectives and faithful pathways.
