OUR CORE PRINCIPLES (WHAT WE BELIEVE)
The Great Commandment fuels the Great Commission
Every disciple is a multiplier
Every disciple has gifts to exercise
Simple things grow, simple things multiply
The Kingdom is always relational before it is organizational
MARKS OF A DISCIPLE (WHAT DEFINES US)
Surrender their life to the Father, every day
Read and obey the Word
Depend on the Holy Spirit
Make generational disciples of Jesus
OUR VALUES (WHAT DRIVES OUR DECISIONS)
Heart over Behavior
(Proverbs 4:20-27, Colossians 3:1-17)
Jesus cares about and radically transforms the heart, because it is the well-spring of life. Therefore, our hearts must be guarded so that love for and obedience to Jesus drives our decisions, rather than behavior modification and performance.
People over Pigs
(Matthew 8:28-34)
People are the mission, and their souls are eternal, which makes them inherently more important than temporary worldly things we often
mistake as our livelihood.
Multiplication over Addition
(Colossians 1:28, 2 Timothy 2:2)
Multiplication sends people away from you and allows Christianity to keep up with the rapidly growing population, while addition draws people to you and eventually stagnates future growth.
Advance over Maintain
(Acts 19:10, 1 Thessalonians 1:2-11, Revelation 7:9-12)
The Church is a movement to advance, not just an organization to maintain.
