Our ValuesÂ
1. Obedience — We believe our highest loyalty is to the Lord Jesus Christ, proven by unwavering obedience to the authority of Scripture and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. (Ps 18:30; 119:89, 160; Is 40:8; Mk 13:31; Jn 6:68; 17:17; Heb 4:12; Col. 4:2; 1 Thess 5:17; 1 Cor. 12:1–7, 11; 14:26; Jn 1:14; 1 Cor 13:1-8; 16:13-14; Eph 4:15, 5:1–2; 2Tim 2:3–4; 1 Jn 3:18)
2. Extreme Ownership — We believe people are to take full responsibility for their life and work, being demonstrated by ownership and repentance, not excuse making. (Gen 3:11-13; 4:6-7; Deut 30:19; Jos 24:15; Neh 10:32; Prov 1:29; 8:10; Matt 3:8; 4:17; Jn 7:17; Acts 26:20; Rom 1:20; 2 Cor 7:10; Jas 4:4-10; 1 Pet 2:18; 4:2-3; 1 Jn 1:9)
3. Spirit-Filled — We believe the Holy Spirit empowers God’s people to do the works of Jesus and confirm His Word. (Mk 16:15–20; Acts 1:4-8; 1 Cor 12:1–11)
4. Leadership — We believe God raises up ever-learning servant leaders with the authority and responsibility to develop, oversee, and release people, teams, systems, and strategies to effectively engage in mission. (Rom 12:3-8; Eph 4:11-16; 1 Pet 4:7–11)
5. Fruitfulness — We believe God has a high expectation of multiplication of disciples, leaders and churches by all possible means short of sin. (Matt 7:19; 25:14-30; 28:18–20; Lk 13:6-9; Jn 15:1-8; Rom 7:4; Col 1:10)Â
6. Community — We believe that Christianity is personal, but not private — that we are to live and work in accountable relationships and teams. (Ecc. 4:9–12; Mk 12:30-31; Jn 15:9–12; 1 Jn 3:10; 5:2-3; Acts 2:42–47; 4:32–35; 5:42; Rom 12:10–16; 2 Tim 3:16–17; 4:2; Heb 10:24–25)
