| What We Value |
| We value love. The love of God is the mark of a true Christian. Love takes many forms. It opens up many treasures in our relationship with God and one another. |
| We value truth. This means that we also value thought. As Martin Luther said, "Christianity is meant for a man with a head on his shoulders". We believe that what someone believes is just as important as the sincerity with which he believes it. Therefore, we want to follow the truth even if this proves to be personally demanding. |
| We value moral excellence. True goodness of heart, not a veneer of pretended goodness, is our aim. We are persuaded that nothing in life is as precious as real moral beauty. |
| We value joy. A church should have a sense of humor. Laughter and joy are the marks of a living Christian hope. |
| We value integrity. Our Lord requires honesty and uprightness in all our affairs as a Church. |
| We value relevance. We want to address the needs and questions of today's world in a meaningful way. We intend, God willing, to make our presence felt in our community. |
