Our Culture & Values
In every area of our lives we want to reflect always, only Jesus. We derive our values from what our core biblical beliefs are.
Family.
The Bible models a healthy family that transforms the person and the world around us. Family fosters transparent and authentic relationships that promote self growth, accountability, and belonging. We know the value in having both mothers and fathers, sons and daughters knowing we all grow better in family. As a result we place a high value on inner healing, teachability, and showing grace for all stages of maturity.
Hebrews 10:24-25
Galatians 6:2
2 Corinthians 3:18
Truth.
The Bible is the infallible foundation upon which all our beliefs and values are based. Partnered with the word, God established the Spirit of Truth to lead us and guide us in all things. It is our responsibility to seek the truth and to measure that against God’s word. The word of God is Rhema, it is living and ever applicable to every season of life and cultural change. Biblical truth and Holy Spirit lead truth are absolute. The Spirit of Truth is measured against the absolute truth of the word of God. The truth will set you free.
John 1:14 John 8:32
John 14:6 John 16:13
Encounter.
Relationships and transformation are birthed in encounter. The bible is written in part based on man's transformative experience with the full nature of God displayed on the earth. When we have an encounter with God, it will change us and produce the fruit of the Spirit in our life. You cannot have an encounter with God and stay the same.
Psalm 34:8 Ephesians 2:8
Freedom.
Freedom is the direct result of salvation, freely guaranteed to us through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is our personal responsibility to accept this freedom and commit to a lifestyle of growth into our true identity as Sons and Daughters of the Father.
Galatians 5:1
2 Corinthians 3:17
John 8:36
Generosity.
The greatest act of generosity was lavishly demonstrated by Jesus giving His life for us. We commit to this generous lifestyle by giving of ourselves through time, worship, support, gifts, and resources. In doing so we partner with Revelation 19:10, the sacrifice of generosity that changes hearts, produces miracles, and fulfills destiny.
Luke 6:38 Malachi 3:10
1 John 3:1 Matthew 6:21
