Core Values
Experiencing God’s Love and Grace
The first of these values is “Experiencing God’s Love and Grace.” We value the free gift of salvation in Christ Jesus and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit.
Believing the Bible
Our second core value speaks to the power of Scripture in our lives – “Believing the Bible: We value the Bible as God’s authoritative Word, study it together, and build our lives on its truth.”
Worshiping God
Worshiping God – We value heartfelt worship that is God-honoring, Spirit-directed, and life-changing. “Worshiping God” is the third of our ten core values. These values touch our hearts, stir our emotions, and move us to action.
Following Jesus
We value wholehearted obedience to Christ Jesus through the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit. While this value may seem simple, it is one that we as believers will spend our entire lives pursing.
Belonging To The Community Of Faith
Community is extremely important to our identity as the Brethren in Christ. We value integrity in relationships and mutual accountability in an atmosphere of grace, love, and acceptance.”
Witnessing To The World
We believe that the Great Commission in Matthew 28 is a call for all believers to share the good news of the Gospel with their closest friends, their larger community, and the world. This belief is summed up in our sixth Core Value. “Witnessing to the World – We value an active and loving witness for Christ to all people.”
Serving Compassionately
We believe that Jesus calls us to humbly serve others in our communities. Our seventh Core Value exemplifies that: “Serving Compassionately – We value serving others at their point of need, following the example of our Lord Jesus.”
Pursuing Peace
In a world filled with conflict, the Brethren in Christ hold tight to our eighth value: Pursuing Peace. We value all human life and promote forgiveness, understanding, reconciliation, and non-violent resolution of conflict.
Living Simply
We value uncluttered lives, which free us to love boldly, give generously, and serve joyfully.
Relying On God
Our tenth core value is really at the heart of them all: Relying on God. We confess our dependence on God for everything and seek to deepen our intimacy with Him by living prayerfully.
