OUR VALUES: (who we are)
In the Scriptures we are taught to value what Jesus values: faith, hope and love (1 Corinthians 13:13).
- Faith, because God’s goodness inspires our trust.
- Hope, because God has promised to complete His work of restoration and salvation.
- Love, because God first loved us.
We are dependent upon God’s grace as we live in community. We strive for our actions in all areas of ministry, organizational management, and personal relationships to reflect God’s grace through:
- Integrity: consistency in our intentions, words, and actions
- Work: a blessing from God to serve others and to grow in knowledge, skill and wisdom
- Stewardship: a call to manage God’s provision with responsibility
- Reconciliation: experiencing a restoration of peace in our relationships with God and each other through Christ
- Commitment: dedication to our callings with both patience and endurance
- Dignity: each person possessing inherent worth and value because everyone is created in God’s image
- Respect: treating every person according to their infinite worth and value
