Guiding Principles:

Outward reaching

The decisions we make prioritize the community outside of the congregation, forming and nurturing diverse relationships.

Sacrificial giving

The decisions we make prioritize giving from our “first fruits,” rather than the leftovers. We seek to say ‘YES! How can we make it possible to join God’s mission in that place/way?’

Discerning stewardship

The decisions we make prioritize careful utilization of the resources God has given us – financial, time, relational, and spiritual. Neither holding on too tightly nor heedlessness of our capacity honors the gift God has given us.

Infrastructure/resource stability

The decisions we make prioritize ensuring that the building and grounds of the church, as well as our financial resources, can continue to serve both the congregation and community into the future. Recognizing the number of hours each week that community partners depend on use of our building, regular maintenance of our facilities and grounds is good stewardship of the gospel for this community.
