Core Values

These are my current thoughts (in no particular order):

Authentic Relational Community

Those who follow Jesus will most often journey with others along the way. To achieve genuine community members must feel safe enough to be honest. There must be freedom of expression and freedom for participation and from participation. Everyone chooses from himself/herself the level of each relationship within the community.

Holistic Living

Every aspect of our lives are allowed to remain integrated not compartmentalized. Life is messy and often complicated. The value community offers is hope, help, and encouragement realities in our lives.

Loving accountability

Love requires balance; challenge and encouragement as well as confrontation. This is a difficult undertaking. Friends who find this balance are to be treasured.

Devotion to God’s mission

Missio Dei.
It is all from God. He brought us back to Himself through Christ's death on the cross. And he has given us the task of bringing others back to Him through Christ.
2 Cor. 5 : 18
