+Being warm, inviting and nurturing people (Mt 11:28);
+Valuing the Bible as God's truth and as useful for our lives (1 Pe 1:19);
+Being passionate about reaching out with the gospel of Jesus Christ (Mt 28:18);
+Holding a deep knowledge of and commitment to living in grace (2 Pe 3:18);
+Committing to honesty - speaking the truth in love (Ep 4:15);
+Giving generously toward God and our neighbor (Lk 6:38);
+Thinking about and striving for excellence (Ph 4:8,9);
+Being servant-minded, with humility (Mt 20:26);
+As life-long learners, always striving for greater spiritual maturity (Ep 4:13);
+Striving to become resilient and hopeful people who persevere through difficulty (Ro 5:2-5).
As God's children, we admit that we have not yet arrived at the point where we always live these values. But we are learning, growing, and working at it - together! That's the great adventure! We want our church to be a place to live that adventure!
