Guiding Values
Our guiding values keep us on track to lead people to a life-changing relationship with Jesus
Life-Changing Truth
If we read and apply the Word of God, He will change our lives
2 Timothy 3:16 - ”All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.”
Transparent Living
God desires us to be real, open, and honest about who we are and allow others to do the same.
1 John 1:7-9 - ”But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin. If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.”
uncomfortable grace
Followers of Jesus give the same limitless grace they have received from God.
Colossians 3:12-13 - ”Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13 Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.”
captivating celebration
Following Jesus results in a joy-filled life that draws people to Jesus.
Acts 2:46-47 - ”They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity - all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.”
Selfless Service
Followers of Jesus best demonstrate love to others through acts of service and kindness.
Philippians 2:3-4 - ”Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.”
