We offer a community that honors Jesus and values people in seven ways:

1. Treat everyone with love and significance (James 2:1-7).

2. Help anyone know Jesus as Lord, Savior, Son of God, and source of love (Matt. 16:13-17, John 3:16-17, 1 John 4:7-10).

3. Teach the Bible accurately (2 Tim. 2:15).

4. Live it authentically, starting with love one another (Titus 1:16-2, John 15:12).

5. Exhibit the marks of a biblically authentic church community:

• Christ over buildings or human leaders (Ephesians 1:22-23)

• Enriching relationships over programs (1 Peter 2:5-9)

• Every member valued and included (Rom. 12:5-8, 1 Cor. 12:4-6)

• Participative learning and shared teaching (Matt. 5:19, Col. 3:16)

• Shared servant leadership (1 Peter 5:1-2, Matthew 20:25-28)

• A body of believers, not a business for leaders (Matthew 10:8, 21:12-13)

6. Make positive impacts with every human encounter (Matt 7:12, Prov. 3:27).

7. Where we work, live, and play, leave People, Places, and Things better than how we found them (1 Peter 4:10).
