Our Core Values
Equipping
Jesus is the Curriculum, the Classroom, and the Teacher
• All curriculum should be Gospel-centered and all classes should focus on us becoming more like Jesus
Jesus is the Hero of every lesson
• All classes and studies should not merely moralizes but present Jesus as Savior
We are all about Disciples
• All ministries should be intentional about making disciples
Outreach
Evangelism is not an option, it is the Great Commission
• It is our responsibility to take the living Gospel to a dying world
The church is God’s plan A, there is no plan B
• Partner with & support ministries and missions that plant new, or help rebuild existing churches
Outreach is done from the inside out. Inside -> Out -> Reach
• We will be known by the love we show one another
• Outreach is no longer just door-to-door but it’s about building relationships
• Outreach works best when you reach outside the walls of the church
Minister/Service
Every member is a minister
• We are all called to minister, encourage, care, and support one another
We are the Church, not a theater
• In a theater, you are a spectator to be entertained and served, but in the church you are engaged with others to be active and serve
Songs & fine arts are sermons set to music
• Praise & worship should be theologically correct and Gospel centered
• What is sung is believed. Sing rightly, believe rightly
Stewardship
Generosity transforms people
• Our hearts go where our treasures are.
• Giving helps break materialism.
• We prefer sacrificial giving over fund-raising
