Our Core Values

GROW: This is what we do...from birth to death we GROW. We were designed to GROW and will continue to GROW. 2 Peter 3:18 tells us to, "GROW in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

We desire to GROW into what God intended us to be - like Jesus.

(See: Ps. 92:12-13; Eph. 4:15-16; 1Peter 2: 2-3)

SHINE: Like the sun. Matthew 5:14 tells us, "You are the light of the world." We SHINE when we live for Jesus and He lives in us. We SHINE when we stand out as followers of Jesus. (Eph. 5: 8-10)

BELONG: You BELONG. Like a puzzle, pieces fit together to form a picture. You BELONG in the picture, without you the picture is incomplete. We are the body with many different parts. We need all the parts and all the parts work together and grow. You BELONG in the picture. (1Cor. 12:12-20)

BUILD: Everything we do is for building people up. Encouraging people. Equipping people. Empowering people. We use our gifts and talents for building the body...all to the glory of God!

(Heb. 3:13; 10:25)

GO: As Ambassadors of Christ we are on a mission. Jesus commanded us to "GO and make disciples." We have as our mission the same as Jesus who said, "Love the Lord... and love your neighbor."

(Matthew 28:19-20; 2 Corithians 5:16-21; Matthew 22:34-40)
