Core Values

• Christ centered - We believe in the pre-eminence of Christ.  He empowers The Church to fulfill His mission.  We are dedicated to transforming the lives of others as we follow Him.
  
  And he [Jesus] is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.  Colossians 1:18 ESV
  
  I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.   John 15: 5 ESV


• Vision driven - We believe that vision is revealed by God and where there is vision people prosper.  Our vision is reflected in our Purpose, Mission Statements, and Core Values and our ministries will be consistent with the pursuit of this vision.
  
  Where there is no vision, the people perish.  Proverbs 29:18 KJV
  
  For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD.  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9 ESV
  
  I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. John 15:15 ESV
   
  
• Excellence - We believe excellence honors God and inspires people.  God gave His best, therefore we give our best.
  
  Watever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.   Colossians 3:23-24 NIV 
  
  
• Alliances - We believe that alliances will enable us to enhance our effectiveness and leverage our resources.
  
  Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:  If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!  Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.  But how can one keep warm alone?  Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves.  A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.   Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 NIV
  
  
• Servant Focused - We believe in serving rather than being served.  We will follow Christ?s example to serve others with joy and compassion.
  
  Whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.  Matthew 20:26-28 ESV
