Values to Live By

WE HOLD AS GUIDING VALUES THAT:

1. Worship of God is the expected lifestyle of all believers and is expressed in an integrated life of prayer, intimacy, obedience and service that brings honor and glory to God.
2. Reaching lost people demonstrates that everyone matters to God and happens best as we intentionally build relationships to share Jesus, both individually and in small groups.
3. Listening to God speak his will and rule through the Holy Scriptures and through Spirit-anointed communication reveals and confirms God’s purposes for transformed daily living.
4. Continuous growth in the pursuit of our God-given destiny is our life-long goal and is best nurtured in small groups.
5. Equipping believers for life and service in the kingdom of God is the work of the five-fold ministry, and results in building up the body of Christ in freedom and to maturity. (Eph. 4:11-16)
6. Biblical community expressing unity and love flows from the Holy Spirit as we serve one another in humility and authenticity in accountable relationships.
7. Faithful stewardship of our time, possessions, money, abilities, and spiritual gifts allows the body of Christ to fulfill our calling to meet the needs of those God brings into our circle of influence.
8. Creative excellence honors God and inspires people and is the standard for all ministry.
9. Cultural relevance expressing Biblical truth enables us to “serve God’s purpose in our own generation.” (Acts 13:6)
10. Being the Radical Church is expressed by faithfulness to our New Testament roots, connecting to the historical radical church, and embracing the present move of God.
