Our church points everything to Jesus.
You can tell a lot about people by what they value. The same goes for a church.
The best way to tell you who we are is to show you what we value. The simplest answer is we value you, whoever you are and wherever you’re from.
What we value
Let’s get a bit more specific.
01
Jesus surprised the world, so we will too.
We will be known by what we are for.
The world has come to expect the Church to be one thing: judgmental, solemn and exclusive. But Jesus shows us something completely different in Scripture. He shocked the people of His day with His love, His acceptance, His compassion, His words, His death and His life. That’s the kind of people we want to be.
02
Jesus was all about people, so we are too.
We will be fully present and intentional in our relationships.
Over and over again in the Gospels, Jesus shows us that people are His priority, whether it was His gentle acceptance of the woman at the well (John 4) or His compassion for the crowds (Matthew 9:36). We want to point everyone we meet toward the Father’s love, on Sunday mornings, in discipleship groups, or by being kind to the attendant at the gas station.
03
Jesus gave big, so we will too.
We will use what we have to make a difference in our community.
Every one of us has a certain amount of time, talent and treasure, and in Scripture Jesus shows a shocking level of generosity with His. We want to be the people with the “Yes” faces in our community: yes, we will take time to be with those in need; yes, we will support one another with our energy and skill; yes, we will give joyfully to the mission of Jesus.
