Guiding Principles
In order to achieve this vision, we live by four guiding principles that help us love one another well and highlight the gospel in everything we do.
Be
Loving
Be Selfless
We will always treat one another with love and respect as fellow image-bearers, created by God with dignity. Our love for one another is how the world will know we are Christ's disciples.
John 13:34
We will think of others before ourselves and pursue the "Golden Rule." We will seek to outdo one another in honor and not insist on our own way.
Philippians 2:3–4
Be Flexible
Be Understanding
We will maintain flexible attitudes knowing our message will never change though our methods will.
As a multicultural and multigenerational family, we will be flexible with one another.
1 Corinthians 9:22–23
We will give one another the benefit of the doubt, extending grace and forgiveness when needed. We will seek to understand before passing judgment in all things knowing our unity is of utmost missional importance.
