Our love is defined through our Core Values which are based on Jesus Christ.
We practice UNITY of spirit and purpose - because we are called to be one in Christ. Unity fosters inclusiveness. It embraces a vibrant and vital diversity of spirit and purpose - because we are called to be one in Christ. (Romans 6:5-10; Philippians 2:1-2; John 17:20-23; Psalm 133:1).
We are INTENTIONAL in presenting Jesus Christ to all whom we meet - because we are all "ministers" to the world (Matthew 5:14-16; Mark 16:15; John 20:21).
We serve with BOLDNESS - because we worship a God of infinite power and unlimited possibilities. God compels us to step outside of the church and into the lives of others (Ephesians 3:20-21; John 14:12-14; 2 Timothy 1:7).
We extend to others COMPASSION - because we have received God's unconditional grace. Our unconditional love for others fosters mercy, justice, and reconciliation, diminishing judgmentalism (Colossians 3:12; Ephesians 4:32; 1 Peter 3:8; 2 Corinthians 1:3-4; John 13:34-35).
We practice FORGIVENESS - because we are forgiven. It cleanses guilt and heals both the forgiven and the forgiver. It is the reflection, and commandment, of Christ (Matthew 6:12-15; Matthew 18:21-22; Colossians 3:13).
We are ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD and choose to be ACCOUNTABLE TO EACH OTHER . We are invested in the spiritual life and daily walk of each individual in our community of faith (Hebrews 3:13; 1 Thessalonians 5:14-15; Ephesians 4:15-16).
We TRUST one another in the exercise of our faith. Believing God is at work in every believer, we will address any breech of trust in Christian love (Philippians 1:6; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; 1 Corinthians 2:4-5).
We provide BELONGING AND A SENSE OF COMMUNITY to all that seek them. Believers are adopted by God as His children and heirs through the work of Christ, and we welcome all to that family, nurturing an attitude of selflessness (Romans 10:12-15; Hebrews 2:11; Ephesians 1:4-6; 1 John 1:7).
