Values

Embracing service, humility, and a commitment to helping others.  Placing others' needs at the center of our actions and recognizing that satisfaction and blessing come from giving and helping.

Maintaining strong moral principles and consistently doing the right thing, even when it is difficult or when no one is watching. Being honest, ethical, and transparent in both actions and words.

A commitment to continuous improvement, quality, and living with a strong sense of purpose. Excellence isn't about perfection, but about the consistent pursuit of growth, quality, and integrity in what we do. It is giving our best as a form of worship.  

Taking responsibility for managing and caring for our resources.  An attitude of voluntary accountability for our words and actions.  Making choices and taking actions that support the sustainability of the mission, our properties, and our people.  Also, wisely achieving the best possible outcomes with the least amount of waste or effort.  

Developing and embracing new ideas, methods, and solutions to solve problems, improve processes, and create.  Constantly seeking new ways to make improvements, make systems efficient, or make our efforts more meaningful.  A way of thinking where change is seen as an opportunity and a challenge.

Standing together with our Church and mission partners, showing support, and sharing in collective responsibility, especially during times of challenge or adversity. Rooted in empathy, compassion, and unity of purpose to grow God’s Kingdom.  We embody the values and take on the visions of our partners as our own values and visions.  

Working together toward shared goals, combining diverse skills, perspectives, and efforts to achieve something greater than what individuals could accomplish alone.  The belief that cooperation, teamwork, and mutual respect lead to better results and stronger relationships.  A connectedness between the people, culture, and social climate that emotes a high degree of respect, service, and sustainability.  

The willingness to face fear, doubt, and danger, even when the outcome is unknown or challenging. Standing up for what is right when you know you will be persecuted, attacked, or hurt.  It is not the absence of fear, but the ability to act rightly while feeling fear.  Unwavering commitment to one’s beliefs, taking on difficult tasks, or confronting uncomfortable truths.  Rejecting some cultural norms or expectations in pursuit of a Christ-like Kingdom culture.
