What We’re About
Our values define what we’re all about. Essentially, they are the pathways we’ve found through which we discover our place in God’s storyline. Everything we do as a community is informed by and filtered through these values.
Our values ultimately flow out of the story of God found in the Bible. To read an account of God’s story, click here.
In short, Storyline Christian Community lives to discover its place in God’s story through dependence on God, mission, life change and genuine relationships.
