2) We Value Depth, not Width. It has been said, “Take care of the depth of your ministry and God will take care of the breadth of your ministry.” Our passion is a full-throttle pursuit of the glory of God while trusting Him to add to our number as He pleases.

3) We Value Disciples, not Decisions. Our concern is not how many make a decision for Jesus but how many are obedient disciples growing and impacting this world for Jesus.

4) We Value People, not Programs. Our goal of ministry is not the endless creation of new programs designed to meet felt needs, but the hard work of relationships and discipleship as we seek the transforming power of God’s Spirit in our lives. 

5) We Value Sending, not Seating. Success in the local Church is not determined by how many people come into the facility, but by how many people go out and labor for the gospel cause.

6) We Value Mission, not Marketing. We are about Jesus Christ and the work of the gospel. We are not about shopping centers, multi-million dollar children’s facilities or slick marketing campaigns. We are about Jesus and His Work. 

7) We Value Serving, not Entertainment. We are not consumers who need amused but servants who are on a mission for Jesus.

8) We Value Diversity, not Uniformity. We love people from all walks of life, cultures, ethnicities, and backgrounds who band together and are engulfed by one common truth – the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

9) We Value Risk, not Comfort. Maintaining the status quo does not excite us. Living a life that risks it all for the sake of the gospel brings us great joy.

10) We Value Movements, not Monuments. We do not want to build an empire at our local Church, but to instead be a movement that is reproducing God-centered, gospel-loving, expository preaching local Churches.
