Culture Codes

This list of core values is so important to the heartbeat of our Church. They create filters for how our leaders make decisions in order to facilitate and implement the culture. We desire that all of our staff, leaders, and members exhibit these attributes in their daily lives, influencing everything that they do for the glory of God.

  • We build our lives on His solid foundation

    Matthew 7:24 (NIV)
    “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.

  • We pray first, not as the last response

    Ephesians 6:1 (NIV)
    And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

  • We love, we accept, we forgive

    Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

    ...in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God--this is your true and proper worship.

  • We desire to be generous in everything we do

    2 Corinthians 9:11 (NIV)
    You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion...

  • We have a passion to do things better

  • We follow Jesus’ example

  • We remain teachable and humble
