These value statements provide shared language to guide our community life, relationships, and ministry direction.
We aim to be patient, kind, humble, flexible, difficult to offend, merciful, celebrators of good, faithful, hopeful (giving others the benefit of the doubt, assuming the best of others), and resilient.
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. —1 Corinthians 13:4-7
We will show up even when community becomes hard and messy. We will not run from conflict but address it in a healthy and life-giving way.
“If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back. But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses. If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won’t accept the church’s decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.” —Matthew 18:15-17
Generous people make the world better; greedy people make it worse. This means extending mercy, stepping into gaps of injustice, and giving more than what is needed—trusting God as our generous provider.
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. —John 3:16
We value the mysteries of faith and life, welcoming differing perspectives and life experiences. We accept our finite ability to resolve all uncertainty.
“Who can measure the wealth and wisdom and knowledge of God? Who can understand his decisions or explain what he does?” —Romans 11:33
We are more than the sum of our knowledge, effort, and accomplishments. We will seek first to “be with” God before endeavoring to “do for” Him.
“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.” —John 15:4
We choose to prioritize clarity and substance over complexity and splendor, faithfully stewarding our God-given resources while shunning excess.
“But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.” —1 Timothy 6:6-7
We move faithfully in the pace of the Spirit, trusting that we can accomplish more by maintaining healthy rhythms and relationships than in anxiety and hurry.
“Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.” —Psalm 27:14
We honor the Image of God in all people and their innate value as human beings for whom Christ died. We consider diversity to be a strength, encouraging each other’s flourishing as unique individuals. We will always welcome the outsider, extend hospitality to the stranger, and help others discover belonging in the church.
“When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God.” —Genesis 5:1
