Core
Values
We are built on PB & J (Prayer, Bible, and Jesus).
- Prayer connects us to God and His direction. (James 4:8; James 1:5-7; Jeremiah 29:12–13)
- God speaks through Scripture—the standard for truth. (2 Timothy 3:16–17; Psalm 119:105; Hebrews 4:12)
- Jesus is at the center. Always. (Colossians 1:17–18; Hebrews 12:2; John 14:6)
We are real, messy people.
- Grace meets us in our mess. (Romans 5:8; Ephesians 2:4–5; Titus 3:5)
- It’s okay to not be okay—but not okay to stay that way. (Philippians 1:6; 2 Corinthians 5:17; John 8:11)
- Community can be messy—and that’s okay. (Galatians 6:2; Proverbs 27:17; Romans 15:7)
We go deep and wide in relationships.
- A deeper walk with Jesus leads to deeper love for people. (John 15:12; 1 John 4:7–8; 1 John 4:19)
- Disciples are made in biblical relationship. (2 Timothy 2:2; Mark 3:14; Acts 2:46–47)
- As we grow in relationships, we keep welcoming others in. (Romans 15:7; Hebrews 13:2; James 2:1–4)
We are spiritual contributors, not just spiritual consumers.
- We’re most like Jesus when we serve and give. (Mark 10:45; John 13:14–15; Philippians 2:5–7)
- We’re God’s family, and family serves each other. (1 Corinthians 12:7; Galatians 5:13; Ephesians 4:16)
- God designed and gifted us for a purpose. (1 Peter 4:10; Romans 12:6; Ephesians 2:10)
We pursue Simplexcellence.
- We stay focused on the most important things. (Luke 10:41–42; Philippians 3:13–14; Proverbs 4:25–27)
- Excellence in God’s calling matters more than doing it all. (Colossians 3:23; 2 Timothy 4:7; Ephesians 2:10)
- Clarity around what matters most creates unity in what we do. (Philippians 2:2; 1 Corinthians 1:10; Amos 3:3)
We multiply disciples who make disciples.
- Discipleship is relational, not transactional. (Mark 3:14; I Thessalonians 2:8, John 15:15)
- We reproduce disciples, leaders, and churches. (Matthew 28:19–20; 2 Timothy 2:2; Acts 16:5)
- Our job isn’t to gather disciples—it’s to launch them. (Luke 10:1–3; John 20:21; Acts 13:2–3)
We make Jesus visible by serving our community.
- We invite people in, but we must also go out to serve. (Matthew 5:14–16; Luke 10:36–37; Jeremiah 29:7)
- We don’t serve for show—we serve for souls. (Matthew 6:1; Colossians 3:23–24; 1 Corinthians 9:22–23)
- One of the best ways we serve our community is by sharing the gospel and our story. (Romans 10:14–15; Acts 1:8; Mark 5:19
