OUR CORE VALUES

LOVE-CENTERED
Jesus said the greatest commandments are to love God and love others. If we don’t have love not much else matters.
RELATIONSHIP-BASED 
Relationships are central to who God is and real ministry cannot happen apart from them.
BIBLE-FOCUSED
God has a divine plan to reveal truth through the scriptures and as a church all we do must be rooted in the Bible.
PRAYER-COVERED
If life is ultimately about our relationship with God then we can’t flourish in any area of life or ministry apart from talking with God constantly through prayer.
RELEVANT-TO-REAL-LIFE
Theories and big ideas are great, but not very valuable unless they relate to real, ordinary life.
