1. We highly value developing each person’s intimacy with Christ.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)

“Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” (John 17:3)

2. We highly value nurturing relationships within our family of believers.

“Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves.” (Romans 12:10)

“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” (Galatians 6:10)

3. We highly value cultivating people to use their spiritual gifts.

“…to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.” (Ephesians 4:12)

“So it is with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church.” (1 Corinthians 14:12)

4. We highly value sharing God’s Word to point all people to Christ.

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19–20)
