You might be asking, “What are core values?” Core values are the distinctive qualities that make an organization what it is. It is the very DNA of our church. These core values shape us and project who we are and where we're headed as a church.

PRAYER

“To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing” 

–Martin Luther King, Jr. 

We are a community that seeks to experience and carry the presence of God with us everywhere we go. That means that as a church, we will pray together corporately when we meet together and individually throughout our day to day lives. We know and understand that we can do nothing without the direction and guidance that God gives us through regular conversation with him.  {1 Timothy 2:1-2; 1 Thessalonians 5:17; Luke 5:16 NLT}

COMMUNITY

We are a unified group of individuals. Whatever your race, gender, age or distinguishing factors of life, we believe you can be a part of our community. The Bible gives a great example of community by using the word picture of a human body. Our body’s various parts and systems work together to function successfully and bring us life. We believe that we all have a vital part to play in this community. We strive to create an environment where we journey through life together. Our mindset is each individual is invaluable and irreplaceable. 

{1 Corinthians 12:12-27; Hebrews 10:23-25 NLT} 

EXCELLENCE

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit. We believe in giving God our best because we were created to worship Him with our lives. This means that we will take what God has given us and do our best with it. We have one life to live so we better make it worth it! So join us as we strive to dream, plan, create and follow through everything we do with excellence. {Ecclesiastes 9:10; Proverbs 21:5 NLT} 

INNOVATION

The definition of failure is doing the same thing over and over again, yet expecting different results. We believe that changing our methods without changing the message is vital to fulfilling our mission. We live in a progressive and changing world. We strive to be open to change because growing things are always changing. We never want to become comfortable and will strive to create an environment that is open to creative methods and expression. 

{1 Corinthians 9: 20-23 NLT} 

ALLIANCE

We believe in sharing with other churches and organizations around our community, nation and ultimately the world to show the love of Christ and love our neighbor as ourselves. We want to partner with others to wage war on issues of poverty, homelessness, hunger, and abuse. As a part of the Church as a whole, we believe that it is our responsibility to address these barriers in our world while bringing the message of Christ. If that means we can work with others who have the same cause, then we will do that. Disunity causes confusion, wastes energy, and limits effectiveness. Let’s partner together!

{Phillipians 2:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:14-22 NLT}

MULTIPLICATION

“The creation of a thousand forests is in one acorn.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson

We strive to be a church that never becomes comfortable with our current circumstances. We intentionally maintain a missional mindset, which pushes us to seek to reproduce disciples, leaders and ultimately plant other churches. We see in the book of Acts, that Christ admonished his followers to reach out to their immediate surrounding community but not to stay comfortable with just that. He also instructed them to go further by reaching the surrounding nations and ultimately the world! We will multiply. {Acts 1:8 NLT}
