1) God’s Word – The Holy Scriptures are alive, active, without error, and the power of God for salvation. God uses His Word to shape us, sanctify us, and judge the thoughts and intentions of our hearts. We will use God’s Word to teach, preach, encourage, comfort, and rebuke.
2) Gospel Life Change – Our only hope is Jesus. We can only be changed by his grace and mercy, not by any merit of our own. Therefore, we will engage believers and unbelievers to be changed by the Gospel to become more like Jesus.
3) Community – We are the body of Christ. We were created for relationships, not for living in isolation. Therefore, we will journey together by being authentic, vulnerable, and giving accountability to one other. We also will teach and facilitate people to love, serve, and meet the needs of others.
4) The Nations – God’s heartbeat is for all the nations He created. People from every tongue, tribe, and nation will worship Him. Therefore, we will actively serve and love people from all the nations so that God might show them the light of the glory of the Gospel of Christ.
5) Multiplication – We desire to invest our lives in others for the sake of the Gospel. We will invest in people by mentoring, discipling, and equipping them to invest and reproduce their lives into others. We will also actively pursue starting new Gospel-centered churches in our city for the spread of the Gospel and the glory of God.
6) Flexibility – Within the bounds of the gospel and God’s Word, we will embrace new ideas. We won’t be afraid of change or things becoming different. We will adapt and adjust as God leads us into new opportunities.
