COMMITMENTS
To Serve and Minister in the Name of Jesus
- As a team, we are committed to welcoming and serving people in the name of Jesus. This means considering the needs of those we encounter, going out of our way to bless and serve, and seeking to display the character of Christ in all that we do and say.
- This also looks like reaching out to the lonely, the isolated, the lost, and the least. When we notice someone on a Sunday – or at any time in our church – standing off on their own and alone, we are committed to meeting them, hearing them, and inviting them into the life of our church.
Operating in Excellence
- Paul said, “And still I show you a more excellent way.” As a team we are committed to operating in this excellent way of love. Love will compel us to go the extra mile, to see things that no one else sees, and to lay down our lives with Christ for His people.
- We are committed to operating in excellence in the way we create an environment in which people can find belonging and grow as disciples. This means being thoughtful and diligent in our communication with others, being aware of the needs of those around us, and joyfully going above and beyond in our responsibilities in service.
Disciple Making
- Whether you are a new believer, or a well-seasoned follower of Jesus, we are commissioned by Jesus to make disciples. Therefore, we are committed to playing our part in making disciples in our church and city.
- This looks like taking time to connect people in our church to places, people, and ministries where they can grow as disciples. As well, being intentional to inspire and challenge those we meet to take their walk in God seriously.
