WHAT WE VALUE

Jesus and His mission – this drives all we do, how we live, and where our money goes.

All people – God loves everyone and so do we – a lot!

Process – Life is hard and God is good. Figuring out how that works is a process and the process takes a lifetime.

Health – we want “healthy” to be an adjective that accurately describes every aspect of our life – individually and corporately.

Generosity – God is the ultimate, tireless giver and we want to become like Him.

Innovation and Risk – We want to follow Jesus on the risky adventure of living an “all-chips-in” kind of life.

Reproduction – Yes, we love kids, and we also love the reproduction of friends, communities, and churches.

HOW WE LIVE

We seek to live out our values with the following seven Lifestyle Habits:

Listening to God - We are intentional about setting aside time to listen to God through His Word, His Spirit, one another, and Prayer.

Being the Church – We are intentional about bringing the love and Presence of Jesus to our city by letting him live and love through us.

Sharing a Meal - We are intentional about investing our lives in people, and, if helpful, inviting interested persons to the ECC weekend experience.

Peeling the Onion - We are intentional about dealing with the layers of “junk” in our own lives with the help of trusted friends.

Downsizing to Maximize - We are intentional about simplifying our financial lives in order to be generous supporters of Christ’s purposes in the world.

Keeping Your Passport Current - We are intentional about serving the spiritual and social needs in under-resourced parts of the world.

Leaning Green - We are intentional about being ethical stewards of God’s earth and its resources.
