7 Core Values

Our seven core values are not just what we do, they make up who we are. These are all non-negotiable for our teams, staff and leaders. Values are basic and fundamental beliefs that guide or motivate attitudes or actions. They help us to determine what is important to us.

JESUS IS OUR MESSAGE

We carry the hope for all humanity.

No matter what we do or where we do it, our biggest hope is that people from all walks of life encounter Jesus. We speak to awaken hearts and bring every person into the full understanding of the way, the truth, and the life.

PRESENCE IS OUR HEARTBEAT

God’s presence changes everything.

Moses once said to the Lord, “If you don’t personally go with us, don’t make us leave this place.” The essence of our life is to live in the awareness of God’s presence, under His authority, and for His glory.

LOVE IS OUR WAY

Anyone that encounters us will find love.

We are compelled by Christ’s love. It’s our motive to serve one another and to reach those far from God. By our love, people will know we have been with God.

WORSHIP IS OUR RESPONSE

Our life is a living sacrifice.

Our response to God's revelation of Himself through creation, through His Word, and the Holy Spirit is a lifestyle of worship. The greater our thoughts are of God, the greater our worship will be for God.

PRAYER IS OUR WEAPON

Time spent praying is never wasted.

God not only delights in our prayers, He also responds when we pray and the enemy trembles. Our prayers connect us with God, strengthen us for the fight, and keep us grounded.

SERVING IS OUR HONOR

We serve wherever we are.

We love people best when we humbly serve them like Jesus did. In serving others, we are actually serving God and are being developed as servant leaders.

GIVING IS OUR PRIVILEGE

The one who gives will never lack.

Giving is about how we see our possessions, either they belong to us or everything we have belongs to God and He has entrusted it to us. This means we are generous with our time, talents, and treasures. We offer the first and best of all we have as examples of God’s riches towards us.
