Gospel

This is the core. The Gospel starts with a perfect and holy God and contains the bad news of our falling well short of His perfection. But along with that, the Gospel is good news. Through the person and work of Jesus Christ, God fully accomplishes salvation for those who call on him in faith. He rescues us from judgment for sin, brings us into fellowship with himself for all eternity, and will one day redeem all of creation as far as the curse of sin has touched it.
1 Cor. 1-3; 2 Cor. 5:21; John 3:16-17; Rom. 8:21-22

Transformation

This is the expectation. The Gospel changes everything and moves through our other core values. Jesus will one day return and make all things new. Until that day comes, He is surely and continually making those who turn to Him in faith new creations. By reordering our affections to love the things He loves, He is making us look more and more like His Son, Jesus, as individuals, as a community, and in the world.
2 Cor. 5:17; Rev. 21:5; 2 Cor. 3:18; Phil. 1:6

Community

This is the context. Community is the church, a group of needy people who have been redeemed, and need one another to mature in Christ as we treat one another according to the same Gospel.
Col. 1:24; 1 Pet. 2:9-10; Eph. 4:1-16; Rom. 12:3-8

Mission

This is the direction. God’s people are called outward on mission. We have been called to make disciples as we bear witness to the good news of Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit while loving our neighbors both locally and globally.
Matt. 28:16-20; Acts 1:8; Luke 4:18-19; Mark 12:30-31; Jer. 29:5-7
