CORE VALUES
Prayer – Phil. 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Integrity – Proverbs 10:9
The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out.
Love and Compassion – Matthew 25:35-40
For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. Then the righteous will answer him ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’
Service – Mark 10:45
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
Stewardship – 1 Corinthians 9:17
If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust the trust committed to me.
Generosity – Mark: 12:41-44
Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into to the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins , worth only a fraction of a penny. Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “ I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into to the treasury than all others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything-all she had to live on.”
Excellence – Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not men.
Team Work – Romans 12:4-8
Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if teaching let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
