- Everything we are and everything we do is rooted in, centered on and permeated by the evangel, the gospel of Jesus Christ.
- Before anything else, we are worshipers of God, disciples of Jesus Christ; we seek to love him with all of our hearts, souls, minds and strength.
- Scripture remains our highest authority and the standard for our faith and lives as individual believers and as a church.
- We won’t allow ourselves to be co-opted by any other identity. While remaining absolutely committed to the biblical Christian faith, we seek to be intentionally diverse racially, culturally, politically, generationally and socioeconomically.
- We speak the truth in love. We seek to be loving and gracious when interacting with society, but we will not compromise biblical truth to be more acceptable to the world around us.
- We strive for complete unity regarding the essential truths of the gospel, and provide as much freedom as possible concerning secondary issues. We only take a definitive position on debated, secondary issues when it’s necessary for mutual fellowship and ministry as a church.
