Our Values

We have eight core values which shape our functioning as a church.

God-Centered Worship: Christ Church believes that worship is about God. We want everything we do in worship to be focused on God and his revelation of himself through the Bible and his Son. (Heb. 1:1-3; Rom. 12:1-2)

Biblical Truth: We are committed to learning and loving the Scriptures as the basis and authority of all of life’s actions. (John 17:17; 2 Tim 3:16)

Gospel-shaped Community: We are committed to seeking true and genuine community among its members who are living in response to the kindness God has shown us through the Gospel. (Hebrews 10:24-25; John 13:33; 13:34)

Compassionate Outreach: We are committed to the proactively seeking to meet both the physical and spiritual needs of those around us in both word and deed, demonstrating God’s grace and love at the local, national and international level. (Matt. 5:43-6:4)

Persistent Prayer: We are committed to becoming a body of believers who are dependent upon and fueled by prayer. (Eph. 6:18)

Active Discipleship: We are committed to actively discipling its members toward a greater conformity to Jesus Christ. (Eph. 4:11-16; Matt. 28:19-20)

Pursuing Holiness: We are committed to its members growing in the knowledge of Christ’s love, desiring to move away from willful sin in their lives, and towards faithfulness and obedience to God’s law. (II Cor. 7:1; Ex. 20:2-17)

Developing Christ-Centered Leaders: We are committed to maturing Christian leaders who are committed to teaching the word, praying for fellow believers and those who are lost, and ministering to God’s people. (I Tim 3:1-7; 5:17; Titus 1:5-9)
