Family Values

As a church family, we determined what values we believed needed to be at the core of who we are and what we do.

  • We see ourselves as a house with room to grow the family not only in numbers but for each to reach their full potential as influencers and leaders. We believe everyone is positioned uniquely to influence others and thus we welcome and empower others to be great kingdom influencers regardless of who they are. Like the Prodigal Son, we place on others the insignia of royalty with which to shape their world well.

    ~ Matthew 20:28

  • Grace for all is a free gift from God that embodies forgiveness and unmerited favour. Grace is rooted in mercy, a loving response to our weaknesses, and is supportive in nature. God's grace is a transformative force that brings healing and second chances.

    ~Romans 3:20-24; 2 Corinthians 12:9

  • God’s truth sets us free, leading us to a life defined by honesty, integrity and peace, all firmly anchored in the unshakeable foundation of His Word. We embrace God’s Biblical truth as the blueprint for all our teaching and preaching. Repentance and alignment is our response to this truth—an acceptance of God’s invitation to align with His will and live a holy life.

    ~ John 8:31-32; 2 Timothy 3:16-17

  • Encounters with God take many forms and are deeply personal, often leading to a growing and vibrant relationship with Him that inspires us to live with purpose and devotion. As we follow His guidance, God leads us into a life of praise, expressed through our actions, words, and worship.

    ~ John 10:27 NIV

  • Hilarious generosity is giving with joyful enthusiasm to bless others and advance God’s kingdom. This kind of giving goes beyond placing an envelope in the offering plate on Sunday; it includes offering our time and sharing the unique talents God has entrusted to us. As we like to say around here, it’s our time, talent and treasure.

    ~ 2 Corinthians 9:7

  • Love never fails because it is everlasting and enduring, standing the test of time and circumstances. It calls us to continually love one another, regardless of challenges, and is foundational to our other family values. God IS love.

    ~ 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NLT

  • Forward motion is always being ready to adapt and respond to God's guidance. It is a spirit of outreach, constantly seeking opportunities to serve and grow. Forward motion embraces a mindset of "go", allowing us to remain open to new directions as God leads us while staying steadfast in Christ.

    ~ Matthew 28:18-20
