Core Values

Service: We believe that service is not only a necessary Christian discipline, but that in actively pouring our lives out for the sake of others we experience the fullness of hope and healing that comes through Christ’s redemption of our own lives.

Relationships: We believe that the quality of our relationships with others is a direct reflection of our relationship with God. How we love and respond to those around us is the most core expression of our faith in action.

Diversity: We believe and celebrate that the Body of Christ is diverse and beautiful – consisting of every tribe, tongue and nation and that unity supersedes denominational and theological differences among those who profess to follow Jesus Christ.

Empowerment: We believe that every individual is created in the image of God and as such has intrinsic value and worth. We are committed to empowering individuals to find and use their unique gifts and abilities in constructive ways that impact the world and people around them.

Discipleship: We believe that Discipleship is a core component of the Christian faith. We are committed to intentionally walking alongside of individuals as they grow in their faith, in knowledge, and in grace toward becoming wholly devoted followers of Christ.
