Everyone is Valuable

Everyone is valuable to God and He desires everyone to find a  genuine and authentic relationship with Him. Therefore, we will create safe environments where people can come as they are no matter what they have done or what choices they have made. We encourage and enable people, wherever they are in their spiritual journey, to take the next steps toward experiencing the authentic life in Jesus.
Matthew 18:14; Luke 15:10; 2 Peter 3:9; 1 Peter 3:15

Outreach

Effective outreach is about building genuine friendships with people in our relational world and sharing with them the authentic life we are experiencing in Jesus. We then invite them to safe environments where they can begin their own personal friendship with Jesus as we continue to walk with them on this journey.
Matthew 28:18-20; Matthew 9:9-10; Acts 1:8; Colossians 4:5-6

Relevant and Creative Teaching and Worship

The Bible is communicated in relevant and practical ways using current language, art forms, music and technology to help everyone experience the authentic life in Jesus without compromising the absolute truths of the Bible.
2 Timothy 3:16; Joshua 1:8; 1 Corinthians 9:19-23; Ephesians 5:19-20; Colossians 3:17

Genuine Life Change

Authentic followers of Jesus commit themselves to a lifestyle of continuous spiritual growth. It is the church’s responsibility to provide opportunities for continuous spiritual growth and we believe that genuine life change is best facilitated in small groups.
Hebrews 6:1; Hebrews 10:24-25;Romans 12:9-18; Acts 2:44-47

Serving

God’s design for effective and rewarding service is in a team  environment, unified around our mission, led by spiritually mature, trained and gifted leaders, and where every person discovers and uses his or her spiritual gifts and passions in at least one area of service.
1 Corinthians 12:14-20; Ephesians 4:11-16; Romans 12:8; 1 Timothy 5:17

Growth

When the church is following its God given mission, God will bring increase through changed lives. We will plan for and trust God to provide the necessary facilities and finances to support this growth.
Matthew 16:18; Acts 2:41, 47

Excellence

Excellence honours and glorifies God and therefore we will strive for excellence in a gracious way in all that we do.
Colossians 3:23-24

Prayer

God desires his people to depend on Him in prayer. Therefore, the ministries and activities of the church will be characterized by a reliance on prayer in their conception, planning and execution.
Colossians 4:2-4; Acts 2:42

Compassion

One of the key responsibilities of the church is to show mercy and seek justice by providing tangible, compassionate assistance and care to those who are in need, locally and globally. This will happen as individuals, groups and strategic partnerships provide immediate relief and ongoing support, hopefully leading to a greater level of independence.
Micah 6:8; Acts 4:34-35; James 1:27; James 2:15-16; 1 John 3:17-18
