Our Practices

FingerprintOur four main values are dependence on God, mission, life change, and genuine relationships. Click here to read more about the values and how they originated. Below, we have listed our key practices which are derived from each of our values. Each practice is also informed by scripture. You may access an example of an informing scripture by clicking each practice.

Dependence on God — God manages our lives better than we can.

  • Trust: living in a trusting relationship with God
  • Connection: connecting to God through prayer and Scripture

Mission — We live for something bigger than ourselves.

  • Reproduction: followers make new followers and churches make new churches
  • Hospitality: extending a warm welcome to strangers
  • Justice: befriending the poor; helping the helpless; caring for the earth
  • Adaptability: the courage to create new things and the willingness to adapt

Life Change — God is fixing us.

  • Character: thinking, acting and feeling like Jesus
  • Expression: reflecting God’s image with our unique gifts and abilities
  • Generosity: extending our resources — time, money, abilities — on behalf of others
  • Simplicity: finding more in less

Genuine Relationships — We make real friends.

  • Authenticity: being real about who I am with others
  • Acceptance: embracing people as they are without judgment
  • Collaboration: working together where everyone has something to contribute
