All people are important to God, and therefore are important to us. The church should be culturally relevant while being doctrinally sound. Christ followers strive to manifest authenticity and yearn for continuous growth. The church should operate as a unified community of servants with all stewarding their spiritual gifts. Loving relationships should permeate every aspect of church life.
Life change happens most effectively in small groups.
Excellence honors God and inspires people. The church should be led by those with leadership gifts. The pursuit of full devotion to Christ and his cause should be normal for every believer.
