Glossary of Terms -- “Values”

Discipleship. Evangelism and Discipleship are not distinct but one process. The Biblical word “disciple” comes from a Greek word meaning “to learn”. The idea is that a disciple learns to live like Jesus, at home, work, and in the world.
God doesn’t need our work, He created the world without us, but he gives us work to do in order to disciple us. Another way of saying it would be, “the church uses work to develop people not people to work for the church.”

Scriptural Integrity. We believe the Bible is God’s revelation to mankind. The Bible, God’s word, is the plumb line for our decisions.

Servant Leadership. Servant Leadership is a form of leadership that is based on helping others grow while at the same time getting results for the organization, and is based on earned relational authority not by an organizational power or ego.

Cooperation. Working with people of good faith and good will to make a spiritual and societal difference in neighborhoods and communities. It is “loving your Neighbor”.

Diversity. God’s creativity is seen in his creation. Diversity is a reflection of the beauty and creativity of God. The Bible teaches we are all made in His image.
