CORE VALUES
Loving
​
Loving God and loving people is the greatest commandment given to us by Jesus. We love God by being Christ-centered and worshiping God joyfully. In turn, we love people by sharing the love of Jesus through relationships and service.
Forgiving
​
We will strive for forgiveness when we have been wronged by others, or when we have wronged others. Jesus spoke of this often and models a way for us to let go of resentment and practice compassion. In the same spirit, we also seek forgiveness for ourselves.
Welcoming
​
All are welcome! No matter who you are, or where you are in your journey of life, we believe you have a place here.
Connecting
​
Relating to one another as members of the Body of Christ allows us to embrace what has been and what will be as we grow in faith together.
