Building on our foundational commitment of being lifelong learners of Jesus Christ, we will become outward bound disciples, blessed to be a blessing, confident that God’s gifts and good news come to each of us because they are on their way to others. We will live out the priorities of authentic community, feeling smaller even as we grow larger. We will value servanthood as a way of life; stewardship over consumption; meeting the needs of the poor; reflecting the racial, cultural, and economic diversity of the world around us; and reaching unchurched people with the transforming good news of Jesus’ kingdom.
