Christ-Centeredness
Jesus is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s meeting people’s needs or conducting traditional evangelism, Jesus is at the center of it all.
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3:17)
Connection
Bring one another into closer communion with God. Develop meaningful relationships for eternity. Connect with one another on the Sabbath and beyond.
I pray that they will all be one, just as You and I are one — as You are in Me, Father, and I am in You. (John 17:21)
Community
Establish a sense of belonging. Concentrate our efforts on fostering the beloved community of all nations, tribes, tongues, and peoples. Intentionally reach out to meet the needs of people in the city of Airdrie.
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
Evangelism
Sharing the Gospel in our homes. Sharing the Gospel in our church. Sharing the Gospel in our city. Sharing the Gospel in the context of the Three Angels’ Message.
Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth — to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people — saying with a loud voice, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water." (Revelation 14:6-7)
Discipleship
Grow closer to Jesus relationally. Develop Christ-like characters. Surrender to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Intentional biblical mentorship of singles and families of all ages and backgrounds. Train leaders to excel in exercising their spiritual gifts.
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Matthew 28:18-20)
Service
Others-centered focus. Put aside our wants to serve the needs of others. Practice a culture of service. Engage in projects that serve the community.
As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the multifaceted grace of God. (1 Peter 4:10)
Love
All of our core values are to be founded upon love.
God is love. (1 John 4:8)
We love because He first loved us. (1 John 4:19)
