Our Values

​

Love is the foundation from which everything else flows. 

“We love because God first loved us.”  1 John 4:19; NIV

 

Faith gives us the strength to trust in God's plan, even when the way is uncertain. 

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”  Hebrews 11:1; NRSVUE

 

Community that is welcoming and inclusive extends our fellowship beyond the church walls. 

“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”  Matt. 25:35; NRSVUE

 

Integrity is honesty and accountability, courageously aligning our lives with the teachings of Christ. 

“Blessed are those whose lives have integrity, those who follow the teachings of the Lord.”  Psalm 119:1; GW

 

Grace, God’s unearned gift, inspires us to extend mercy and compassion to others and ourselves. 

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God— not the result of works, so that no one may boast.”  Eph. 2:8-9; NRSVUE

 

Growth flourishes personally and collectively, as we deepen our faith and expand our outreach. 

“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.”  2 Peter. 3:18; NIV
