Gospel Values
Community
Committed to building a welcoming, strong, and loving community. “For as in one body we have many parts, and all the parts do not have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ and individually parts of one another.” (Romans 12:4-5 New American Bible)
Servant Leadership
Leading and serving like Jesus. “For the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45)
Respect
Respecting the life and dignity of myself and each person in thought, word and action. “Give honor to all, love the community, fear God, honor the king.” (1 Peter 2:17)
Gratitude
Being thankful for every gift and lesson I learn. “Give thanks to the Lord for he is good, his mercy endures forever!” (Psalm 107:1)
Humility and Understanding
Seeking first to understand. “Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show his works by a good life in the humility that comes from wisdom.” (James 3:13)
Wellness
Caring for and respecting the entire self – body, mind, heart and soul. “Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16)
Patience and Perseverance
Having courage to push beyond my perceived limitations, the ability to keep fighting, and the strength to endure through the struggle. “Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope.” (Romans 5:3-4)
Diligence
Working with careful, and planned persistence. “The plans of the diligent end in profit, but those of the hasty end in loss.” (Proverbs 21:5)
Integrity
Acting and speaking with honesty and sincerity. “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” (Luke 6:31)
