Core Values

A. We center all we do on Christ. We desire that Christ would have preeminence in all

     things, in His church, and in our lives. (Colossians 1:18, Revelation 4:11, 1          

     Corinthians 10:31)

B. We study and submit to God’s Word. Above all, we want to please God and stay true

     to His Word. This necessitates that each member knows and follows God’s Word. We

     would rather be biblical than popular. (2 Timothy 3:14-17, Acts 5:29, 2 Timothy 1:13)

C. We engage others with the gospel. The truths of God’s Word apply equally to every

     generation and culture. Sharing the life-changing truth of the gospel is the most

     compassionate and important endeavor in which we can be involved. (Matthew    

     28:18-20, Romans 1:14, 1 Timothy 2:3-6)

D. We enjoy serving the Lord. We enjoy church life. Serving the Lord is not simply a

     duty; it is enjoyable, and so we serve together with joy and passion. It is the    

     outflowing of Christ in us. (Psalm 100:2, Nehemiah 8:10, John 7:38)

E. We live by faith. We believe God desires and is able to do what we cannot do. We

    strive to be excellent in all we do. We sacrifice and give cheerfully, believing God

    uses our gift for His glory and that He replenishes our resources. (Ecclesiastes 9:10,

    2 Corinthians 9:7; Ephesians 3:20; Philippians 3:13-14, Philippians 4:19, Daniel 6:3)

F. We bring our families along on the journey. The Christian life is better caught than

    taught. We do not want to leave our own families behind as we minister to others, but

    rather to bring them along on the journey of following and serving God. (Joshua 4:6-

    7, Deuteronomy 6:1-7, 20-25, Ephesians 6:4; 1 Timothy 5:8)
