We are committed to applying the Word of God to our everyday life as we pursue a stronger relationship with Him. Our relationship with Jesus is the most important thing to us. We know that perfection is unattainable, but we want to be the very best Christian we can be. The way we talk and act outside of church is our greatest testimony to unbelievers, and we daily strive to be an example of Christ.
Personal Values
We believe in personal and cultural values. Personal values are related to each individual, and make us uniquely different. However, there are guiding biblical components that each Christian strives to follow daily. These personal values guide us like our very own internal compass directing us to choose what is good, honorable, and holy.
We believe our personal values are outlined in Scripture (Phil 4:8):
Truth
Honor
Righteous living
Purity
Love
Reverence
Spirit of excellence
Praise and worship
Cultural Values
Our cultural values are what we share as a group of people being led by the Holy Spirit. As we are following our personal value system outlined in the Word of God, we can establish our own church culture by being unified as one body. We believe our cultural values are expressed through spiritual growth as we draw closer to the Lord together. The more we are like Christ, the more we will want to be a part of a unified body focused on bringing heaven to earth. Our cultural values are:
possessing a renewed mind by following God’s Will (Romans 12:2)
being imitators of Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1-2)
being set apart for holy living (1 John 2:15-17)
being endowed with a servant’s heart (1 Corinthians 9:19-23)
being an active, involved supporter of a unified body of Christ (Galatians 3:28)
reaching the lost and brokenhearted (Matthew 28:16-20, Acts 1:8)
