Come with us to . . . Demonstrate our love for Jesus Christ through servant leadership
Our love for Jesus should show itself in action. Our commitment to being like Christ extends to His model of leadership as servanthood. We value ministry that goes beyond words to deeds. We value leaders who see themselves as servants of Jesus Christ and of those they lead.
Experience cultural, racial, gender and economic diversity
The Good News of new life, forgiveness and restored relationships in Jesus Christ is for all people. The barriers and prejudices that separate people are broken down in Christ. We value the practical experience of unity in the midst of diversity as witness to the power of the gospel and a divine vehicle for personal growth.
Develop relevant ministries that are vision and opportunity driven
Effective ministries that God blesses are ministries that relevantly relate to the cultural context in which they find themselves. Desiring God’s leadership in all of life and ministry requires sensitivity to His Holy Spirit who gives vision and creates opportunities. We value culturally-relevant ministries that spring from vision to embrace God-given opportunities.
Minister among the poor, the culturally diverse, the next generation and all unreached people
Jesus came preaching the Good News to the poor, prisoners, the blind and the oppressed. He came to seek and save the lost, to bring rest to the weary, to invite society’s outcasts to find a place at the table of God’s Kingdom. We value seeking the lost wherever they may be found, including a clear commitment to developing ministry among the poor, the culturally diverse and the next generation.
Impact our world for Christ and His Kingdom
The model of Jesus and His mandate to His followers to “make disciples of all the nations” give us clear direction. Life is about much more than making a living, raising a family, having fun and preparing for retirement. God calls us to live lives that make a difference, to impact our world for Christ and His Kingdom. We value God’s invitation to join Him in His mission in our world.
