Excellence honors God. We attach an extreme value on quality and excellence since our weekly efforts and ministry are an offering to God (and a message to believer and non-believer alike). Putting forth our best efforts honors God and inspires people. Value principle: Experience should meet or exceed expectation. (Col. 3:23)
Life change, not information transfer. Life is short. Too often teaching is reduced to how much information can be crammed into 30 minutes. How boring. Seeing God for who He really is causes us to see ourselves for who we really are with the hopeful result being a hunger and desire to know God and make Him known. Life change is the goal through compelling worship and memorable, relevant, application oriented teaching. (Romans 12:1,2; Isaiah 6)
Simple. Less is more. By keeping things simple, effectiveness of the vision can be better achieved. (Psalm 19:7; 119:130)
Unity. The Gospel breaks down barriers and we value reaching beyond racial and denominational barriers to demonstrate the power of Biblical unity.
(John 17:20-23; Eph. 4)
