Authenticity. Being real. We believe in being who we are, not who we think we're supposed to be. We have real struggles to be followers of Jesus. We do not pretend to live perfect lives or to have arrived in some perfect faith world. We are not afraid to share our struggles with each other. Integrity. Wholeness. We believe each person is called to bring their whole selves into relationship with Jesus. All parts of our lives are part of us; hence they are also part of our relationships, including and especially with God. We believe all the parts of us make up who we are as individuals. We are not one person at work, another at home, another in worship. We believe in bringing together all these pieces of our lives into one whole. Transparency. We believe that one of our goals in following Jesus is to become so "clear" that others see Jesus through us. |
