F = Finding a PLACE in ministry for everyone (Ministry/Service)
E = Experiencing LIFE together
The church should always be culturally relevant while remaining doctrinally pure, therefore, our Core Values must be directly related to our Purpose:
1) We believe Christ followers should be Spirit-filled and desire growing intimacy with God, privately and publicly.
2) We believe full devotion to Christ and His cause is normal for every Believer.
1) We believe lost people are important to God and therefore, should be important to us.
2) We believe God’s Word is the catalyst for transformation and must be communicated effectively.
3) We believe the Body of Christ is responsible to minister to people; first, to the fellowship of Believers, and then to others.
1) We believe all members comprise a unique part of the Body of Christ and find their place in ministry by stewarding their spiritual gifts, their lives, and their finances.
2) We believe the “Body” should be led by Spirit-filled Believers with the “servant-leadership” character of Christ.
3) We believe excellence honors God and inspires people.
1) We believe loving relationships should permeate every aspect of our church life.
2) We believe authentic relationships develop best in small groups.
