Core values: 3 things we will stand for
1. We Are Better Together
We believe that God has called us to li
ve in community and that we truly are better together. We will strategically create opportunities for us to go deeper in the Word together, go deeper in our relationships with each other, and make a deeper impact on our community.
2. Others Before Us
We will go out of our way to not put personal preferences over biblical mandate to “go” and make disciples. We hold that the message is sacred but the method is not, and we will do whatever it takes to reach people with the gospel and put others before us. We will also, give, serve and commit to doing all we can because we want others to know Jesus.
3. Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop
We believe that we should always be growing individually and as a church. We will always have audacious goals that promote numerical growth. We will always plan environments and ministries that promote spiritual growth. We can’t stop and won’t stop gathering and growing.
