Family Values

We want to be the kind of church that exists as a healthy, vibrant family. The New Testament often uses family language to speak of the church such as these words found in Ephesians 2:19: “So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God”. As a family, we want to be defined by certain Family Values that direct our individual and collective efforts. These seven Family Values summarize the type of people we strive to be and, in turn, the type of church we want to be known as.

by striving to know, love, and follow Jesus Christ

by investing in real relationships

by using our gifts to build up the church

by putting others first through intentional efforts to know those God’s placed around us.

by sharing the story of Jesus to those who are far from God but close to me.

by living open-handed and using what I’m given to serve others.

by pursuing God’s highest ideal for my life and those around me regardless of the cost.
