This past Saturday, we talked about the Values that define our church culture that we want to cultivate on Saturday nights. This is not a doctrinal statement. We already have that. This is more for the purpose of describing what kind of church we want to be.

• We are for People Far from God. Jesus left 99 to find that 1 that was lost. We are intentionally disproportionate toward outreach.
• We Speak Life. We would rather be known by what we are for, rather than by what we’re against.
• Found People, Find People. We embody the mission of God to our world, not just on the weekends.
• We Lead the way in Generosity. We can’t out-give God, but that doesn’t stop us from trying.
• Faith is an Action. We were saved to serve, not saved to sit.
• We Belong to a Family. We are each a part of a whole.
• Nothing worthwhile is Ever Easy/Nothing is Hard for God. We live in audacious faith and trust God to do the impossible.

Most of these statements are already a part of our language, it just feels like it’s time to unite behind these Values together. Expect to see and hear these often. God is working in His church!

Blessings,

John
