_ Our Foundational Values
_ Christ-Centered--Our
goal and focus in life is to reflect Jesus in all that we do. We can experience
His guiding power, presence, and help through the Holy Spirit
God’s Word--God has preserved His commands, His care, and His love for us in what we call the Bible. Within it we find Christ’s redemptive work on the cross and contains everything necessary to salvation. When fully received and applied to our lives, the message will transform our lives.
Dependent on God--God is the giver and sustainer of all life. We acknowledge this and gratefully turn to Him in all aspects of life and ministry.
Committed--Realizing Christ’s gift of Grace, His call to be like Him and to reach out to and help others we willingly offer ourselves to Him. We will be diligent in our worship, prayer, Bible study, service and outreach.
Loving--This is not theoretical but practical. It is to put into practice the example of Christ by our compassion, relational, and grace-filled living.
Humble--Our self worth and joy is found in living and serving Christ. We serve with excellence and faithfulness; and if there is any praise or glory for our action we feel it should go instead to God.
