Values

1.  Biblical Authority -- We hold the Bible to be the authority in all areas of our lives. We will live out its commands, stand on its promises, heed its warnings, and live by its principles.  
2. Intimacy with God -- We believe that God wants a personal, intimate relationship with every person. This relationship comes through Jesus Christ. God desires to be at the center of our lives, thus affecting every area of our lives.  
3. Excellence -- In our pursuit to glorify God and reach our community, we want everything that we do to be done in excellence, as unto the Lord. We believe that God is worth our best efforts and that people are worth our best efforts.  
4. Relational Evangelism  -- We believe that every believer has the responsibility to share the gospel with those within their sphere of influence.   Each believer has been given the commandment to go and make disciples.
5. Relevant Environments -- We believe that the church needs to be relevant for today’s culture. Therefore, we strive to stay on top of current technology and trends. We also seek to serve people where they are; to help them understand that God cares for them wherever they may be.  
6. Kingdom Mindset -- We believe that God has called us to help further establish His kingdom within the West TN region. We desire to support other life-giving churches and ministries. We desire to be generational in our strategy. We desire to be people through whom His kingdom comes and His will is done. Our goal is to be:
   1. Multi-cultural (embracing all cultures)
   2. Multi-generational (embracing all age groups)
   3. Multi-denominational (embracing all people, regardless of religious past)
7. Strategic Service -- We believe that Jesus set for us a model of servanthood. We want to be servants to our community and to all that God leads us to. We want to show the love of God through practical, relevant acts of kindness.
