Our Values
Truth-Telling
We begin by looking at truth straight in the face. No sugar-coating. We believe that the truth will set us free.
You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. (John 8:31b-32)
Humility
We trade defensiveness and pride for a posture of humility. We listen and acknowledge mistakes.
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. (Ephesians 4:2)
Respect
We treat each other like fellow image-bearers and children of God. Without exception.
We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. (1 Thessalonians 5:12-13)
Confession
We acknowledge and sorrow in our brokenness and mistakes, deciding to move forward toward healing.
For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death. (2 Corinthians 7:10)
Grace
We receive God’s grace. We give grace. We grow in grace.
For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. (John 1:16)
Justice
We center the voice of the marginalized and urge advocacy for racial justice across the legal, economic, political and social dimensions.
He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:8)
Reconciliation
Acknowledging our interconnectedness, we help repair bonds that have been broken. We make right the injustice and brokenness in ourselves, communities and society.
…and he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. (2 Corinthians 5: 19b-20)
