Our Values

Growth

By reading God’s Word, we grow in knowledge of the grace of God given to us through the son, Jesus Christ. We want our relationship with God to grow deeper so that how we see the world will be changed, that empathy for others will be evoked, and that we will live our lives for others more than for ourselves just as Jesus did.

Trust

We want to be an example to all for how to cultivate and instill trust, because trust restores relationships (Proverbs 17:17). To do so, we pledge to listen, open up, and respond to others without being guarded in an effort to begin a meaningful relationship (Galatians 6:2). We commit to do so especially with those who have no voice socially, culturally, or religiously (Romans 12:16) as we build a place where everyone belongs and feels safe. Finally, we intentionally devote ourselves to events, groups, and projects that build trust through fellowship and service.

Compassion

In order to build trust, we are committed to first accepting everyone for who they are, recognizing that wherever they are in their journey of faith or life, they are worthy of Christ’s love (Romans 5:8). As a result, we devote ourselves to partnering with them in their journey. We choose to love, embrace, and listen to hurting people with the love given to us in Christ (John 13:34, 15:12, 1 John 4:19)
