Our Core Values
Adaptability
We are students of God and culture. We are open to new ways that God leads us and are willing to let die that which is waning. We must continually ask the question: “Are there better or more effective ways in which we can pursue our mission?”
Restoration
Helping people to become free; learning to release and put off those things that hold them in bondage. Restoration is a social consciousness that pursues justice, purity and the healing work that the gospel brings into an individual’s life, relationships and culture.
Hospitality
Inviting and welcoming people into our lives, our church, our systems, our structures, and our homes.
Learning
Being teachable, curious, and interested as we interact with God's Word, faith, life, people and culture.
Mentoring
Helping people learn to love God deeply and learn how to serve God fully in light of their unique gifts and passions. We begin by meeting people where they are. We are focused and intentional about raising up, training, equipping and encouraging one another in faith, in ministry and in leadership.
