Our Core Values are the shared convictions that guide and motivate our mission.
GENEROUS LIVES
We want to be a generous church made up of people who freely give of themselves by welcoming, sharing and giving with those inside and outside the church. This will be demonstrated by:
i) becoming a welcoming church where all newcomers are truly welcomed and embraced by our church through the sharing of our family, home, finances and food;
ii) setting up a hospitality team focused on planning, mobilizing and implement events that will make our church more hospitable and
iii) increasing the giving in our time and finances for the kingdom of God (Hebrews 13:2; 2 Corinthians 8:1-9).
ONE BODY, MANY PARTS
We are a church community deeply and passionately committed to serving together side by side. We will demonstrate this by committing ourselves to be one family, one body in Christ moving forward together with the same vision into God’s future and by encouraging each brother and sister in each congregation to exercise their different gifts and their different ways of expressing their faith. We will learn from, respect and show concern for one another. We want to commit to the difficult but rewarding task of living and serving together as a church who is one body and many parts (1 Corinthians 12:12-14, 21-27).
EMBRACING ALL PEOPLE
A church which lovingly accepts and embraces anyone and everyone demonstrated by committing ourselves to build a more socially and ethnically diverse church and by intentionally pursuing cultural intelligence across all congregations (Ephesians 3:4-6; Revelation 7:9)
LOVE FOR FAMILIES
The church is called to be a spiritual family where everyone belongs and where we build up families, nurture and train children and together help one another become more like Jesus. This is demonstrated by building a church community as a family where everybody is welcome and building a children and family ministry where parents and church partner together in discipling the next generation (Mark 3:31-35; Deuteronomy 6:6-7).
