Culture
If vision is about where we are going, our culture is about who we are becoming.
We want to be the kind of people that reflect God’s heart and character. With that in mind, as a church family we are trying to grow in five areas of culture.
Honour
We want to see every person through God’s eyes, made in his image. We need to honour ourselves as his loved sons and daughters, and extend that same respect and value to everyone we encounter.
Generosity
Jesus gave up everything for us, so we’re learning how to be radically generous to each other and the world around us. We can be generous in so many ways: with our time, money, our love and the way we serve.
Acceptance
We have encountered God’s unconditional love. We want to welcome anyone and everyone with the same kindness, love and forgiveness. This means celebrating each unique person and drawing out the best in each other.
Authenticity
Jesus has broken sin and shame. We don’t want to live behind a mask, but to be open and honest. We are called to shine with truth and integrity. We want to be people who are trustworthy, and create an environment where people can be truly themselves.
Courage
Nothing is impossible for God. We want to be willing to take big steps of faith with Him. To speak up or reach out even when it feels difficult or risky. We want to demonstrate the kingdom, living courageously wherever we go.
