All people – God loves everyone and so do we – a lot! Process – Life is hard and God is good. Figuring out how that works is a process and the process takes a lifetime. Health – we want “healthy” to be an adjective that accurately describes every aspect of our life – individually and corporately. Generosity – God is the ultimate, tireless giver and we want to become like Him. Innovation and Risk –
We want to follow Jesus on the risky adventure of living an “all-chips-in” kind of life. Reproduction – Yes, we love kids, and we also love the reproduction of friends, communities, and churches. HOW WE LIVE
We seek to live out our values with the following seven Lifestyle Habits:
Listening to God - We are intentional about setting aside time to listen to God through His Word, His Spirit, one another, and Prayer. Being the Church – We are intentional about bringing the love and Presence of Jesus to our city by letting him live and love through us. Sharing a Meal - We are intentional about investing our lives in people, and, if helpful, inviting interested persons to the ECC weekend experience. Peeling the Onion - We are intentional about dealing with the layers of “junk” in our own lives with the help of trusted friends. Downsizing to Maximize - We are intentional about simplifying our financial lives in order to be generous supporters of Christ’s purposes in the world. Keeping Your Passport Current - We are intentional about serving the spiritual and social needs in under-resourced parts of the world. Leaning Green - We are intentional about being ethical stewards of God’s earth and its resources.
