Three Priorities for Everyone
UP - Becoming like Jesus
"continue to work out your salvation ... for it is God who works in you" (Phil 2:12-13)
IN - Being God's family
"in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others" (Rom 12:5)
OUT - BLESSing those around us
"go and make disciples of all nations" (Mt 28:19)
Three Patterns for Everything
Under God
- Submitting to Scripture
- Committing to prayer
- Relying on the Spirit
With Humility
- Acknowledging our failures and limitations
- Living graciously reflecting God's grace to us
- Prioritizing others' interests
All In
- Valuing everyone's gifts
- Including the next generation
- All giving our best
Three Passions we embrace
Innovation
We try new things, believing there are better ways to purpose our purpose
Beauty
We strive to recall the richness and abundance of God's "very good" creation
Multiplication
We make disciples who make disciples; we train leaders who train leaders; we plant churches which plant churches.
