    Things Valued

    Truth: that we would know the truth and the truth would set us free.
    Truth for us is summed up in Jesus Christ and His story that has been accurately revealed to us thru all scripture. In this Person, Truth is not simply reasoned, or evidenced, but is experienced. Truth is not relative. Truth is found in God thru His scripture.

    Love: that we may love Him and love one another.
    The Scriptures challenge us to focus on people, loving, serving, relevance, and character

    Beauty: that we use our God given abilities to express Truth
    God calls us to use our spiritual and natural gifts to glorify God and to bless and inspire our community. We strive to reflect a God that gives inspiration.

    Community: that we would always be living onward together.
    Biblical community is mutual sacrifice. Biblical community is about making choices that benefit the people around you instead of yourself. Biblical community is radically different than the self-focused ethos of our world; it is what we aspire to as followers of Christ. Every believer must live in authentic community to receive the blessings of life that God intended. Biblical Community always includes mutual accountability, encouragement and support. We will be honest about our sin for the purpose of healing. Community is the means of our mission.

    Discipleship: that we would be a church that makes disciples who make disciples.
    Discipleship should have you in a relationship with mentors and with protégés, being able to glean Truth thru these relationships to one another. Here again we see encouragement, accountability, support, and confessions being spoken, but now in a one-on-one environment.

    Holistic: that the Gospel impacts every area of a person's life and culture.
    God is redeeming all of creation through Jesus. He is wiping away our tears. He is putting food in our bellies. He is giving us clothes to wear. God is Holy and ministers through our lives and culture.

    Missional:
    that the church exists for the world and not for herself.
    A church that is not missional is not really a church. When a church loses its mission, it ceases to be a church. The church in every generation is called to bring the good news of the kingdom into the culture where it resides.
    The church is sent by God as missionaries into their own culture. The church exist to take Christ to the lost, to go to the world, not to have them come to us. Members are personally engaged in the community and submerged into its culture like Christ. Our main focus is exalting God and equipping others to be missionaries. We Develop relationships with the lost on purpose because relationships are the means to influence others in their journey toward Christ
