VISION: WHAT GOD DESIRES IN OUR CONTEXT

OUR CORE VALUES:
How we will accomplish the mission.
Transformation: Change comes with the Gospel
2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 12:2, John 3:16, John15:15
When God sent His Son to take our punishment for the evil all of us have done, the story of humanity changed. Everything is transformed when someone embraces and lives by the truth of this Gospel. We move from death to life; from lost to found; from broken to hopeful. We become part of God’s mission to bring love, hope, and restoration into the world.
Love: Love as God loves us.
Ephesians 5:1-21, John 4:7-16, 1 Corinthians 13, John 3:16, John 15:12-13
God demonstrates His love to us through His son Jesus Christ when we were underserving. He sacrifices, forgives, and loves like no other. This love has no conditions and is not very common in the world we live in. Because we have received this radical love, we need the world to receive it too.
Belonging: Be a community of compassion and welcome.
John 15:12-13, Ephesians 4:1-7, Galatians 6:2, James 5:16, Proverbs 17:17, Proverbs 27:17, Matt. 18-20, Romans 1:11-12, Hebrews 10:24-25, 1 Peter 4:8-11, Eccl. 4:9-12, Acts 2:44-47, Philippians 2:3-16, Romans 15:1-7
We are people in different seasons of life. Some are stricken by shame, some are broken and some are healing that is all okay. No one is perfect and we don’t pretend that we are. God created us to be in community with each other so that we can share in these burdens and be strong for one another. you are valued and have a place a the table.
Generosity: Give what God gives to us.
Luke 6:30-31, Galatians 6:2, 1 John 3:17, Hebrews 13:16, Luke 12:33, Acts 20:35, Romans 12:13, 2 Corinthians 8:1-5, 2 Corinthians 9:6-15
God has blessed us so we want to bless others. He has entrusted to us what is rightfully His and we want to be good stewards. We believe generosity is not limited to material needs. God has shown us His generosity by extending love and forgiveness to us when we did not deserve it. By receiving this, we cannot help but do the same.
Multiplication: Engage and mobilize for Kingdom advancement.
Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 1:8, Luke 6:40, John 13:15, 1 Corinthians 11:1, Ephesians 4:11-15, Philippians 3-17, 1 Thessalonians 4:1, 2 Timothy 2:2
God created all living things to multiply. In our new life in Christ, as His disciple, we must multiply. We do this personally by becoming a disciple and making disciples. We pursue this as a local church by engaging with others, equipping them and sending them to do the same. We do this so that lives are transformed by the Gospel in our communities, our region and the world.
