Our Values

1. Grace

Grace isn't a bunch of rules for us to keep. Grace is a Person living His life through us. It's the adventure of life shared with Christ. (Gal. 2:20)

2. Vision

God is big, so we dream big. We will never insult God with small thinking & safe living. (Is. 55:8-9; Eph. 3:20)

3. Local Church

We will invest our lives to build the local church. The church is a big deal to God & a big deal to us. (Matt. 16-18; Heb. 10:24-25; 1 Cor. 12:19)

4. Diversity

Diversity is not a reality we tolerate, but a gift we celebrate. (Gal. 3:28)

5. Generosity

We will lead the way with irrational generosity. We truly believe it is more blessed to give than receive. (2 Cor. 9:7-8)

6. Belonging

The church isn't a building; it's a community. We will find our significance through our relationships. (Acts 2:42-47)

7. Fun

We will enjoy the journey; laugh hard, loud & often. (Ps. 126:1-3)

8. Multi-Locational

We will live for the bigger picture, taking action in communities of faith, locally & globally. (Matt. 28:19)

9. Excellence

We will reject complacency + always bring our best, honoring God & inspiring people. (2 Sam. 24:24)

10. Creative

If we are going to live out our mission, we must unleash the creative potential God has placed in us. (Rom. 12:6)
