Values
We Value…
Power of Prayer – God answers prayer and so we pray with expectant hearts. There is power when brothers and sisters join together and agree in prayer.
Impactful Worship – Worship is a lifestyle, not an event. Our worship experience should both praise our God and make us aware of His presence. Worship is made up of a combination of music, prayer, praise and feeding on the word of God. Worship is both a personal and group experience.
Trusted relationships – Through trusted relationships we can both celebrate and support our brothers and sisters on the journey of life. Through our connection undergirded by trust, truth, integrity and open honest communication we can become an encourager as well as navigate life’s challenges together.
Equality – God sees all as equals, as do we. We will be an open door environment with a heart of humility. Everyone is welcome so that all may have the opportunity to hear the truths of Jesus Christ and experience His love.
Commitment – Recognition of our responsibility to be a contributor not just a consumer. This includes the willingness to expend time, talents and treasures with a servant heart to give, go and serve.
Power of community – We can accomplish more together. We have been placed here for such a time as this to be God’s hands and feet on the Island. We define COMMUNITY as having goals in COMMon while living and serving in UNITY.
Relevant Teaching – Teaching should be relevant to our lives today and our futures. Teaching should always move us forward in our lives by stretching or growing us. God’s Word is living and speaks to our lives where we are today.
Discipleship and mentoring – We will equip others through hands-on experience and leading by example. Confidence in our purpose is increased through the use of our gifts.
Clarity of purpose – A proper launch in life of our future church (children/teens/young adults) is imperative to their success as well as the future of the church. Developing a sound foundation coupled with a healthy personal experience is critical to solidify expectations and purpose.
Power of the Holy Spirit – God doesn’t call the equipped but He equips the called through the gift of the Holy Spirit. It is only through the strength and power of the Holy Spirit, along with our unique gifts, that we are able to accomplish His purpose for our lives.
