Values

Ran across awhile ago, I do not know where it originated from but I am posting it here for info. It is billed as “Core Values for every Christian”:

1. Lost people matter to God, therefore they should matter to the church.
2. The church should be a real place for real people, allowing people to be transparent and authentic.
3. The church should be culturally relevant while remaining doctrinally pure.
4. The church is a place of grace, serving as a trauma center for wounded people and a safe place for questions and searching, regardless of where one might be on his or her spiritual journey.
5. Life change happens best in community.
6. Ministry happens best in teams.
7. Worship is a lifestyle, not an event or a program.
8. The church should be a place of missionaries, not consumers.
9. Excellence honors God and inspires people.
10. The pursuit of full devotion to Christ and His cause is normal for every believer.
