Values
¨ Compassion. It is our heart to continually accept, love, and serve those around us - showing them the love and compassion of Jesus Christ. Compassion is a value that we seek in our every day lives.
¨ Authenticity. We want to have genuine relationships with God and people. Creating an atmosphere where members can experience a real God and connect with a community makes that possible.
¨ Mission. We all have been given gifts and abilities to serve with, and we encourage one another to be led by God and His plan for our lives. We want our members to go out and change their worlds - sharing their experiences and gifts with others.
¨ Purpose. Our heart is to always be in tune with God in everything we do - listening to what His plan is for us as individuals and as a community. Through authentic relationships and a genuine community, members gain a sense of purpose and belonging.
Our Purpose
