Values
Justice
Micah 6:8
Our history and identity, which are rooted in the Black Church Experience, inspire our zeal to see social justice prevail for all. As with Jesus and the Old Testament prophets, we are charged to be prophetic voices and activists in our community.
Peace
Philippians 4:6-7
God is a God of peace. His desire is for us to live in peace socially and personally. God desires reconciliation, healing and wholeness for us.
Hospitality
Matthew 25:34-46
Everyone is welcomed in God's church. God has welcomed us and we, in turn, welcome all who may desire to come.
Innovation
Mark 2:21-22
While the foundational substance of our faith remains consistent, we acknowledge that fresh innovative thinking is essential to be effective and relevant in this present age.
Integrity
Psalms 15
God expects us to walk, talk, and live in a way that exhibits integrity. Our ministries operate with honesty, morality, transparency and consistency.
Excellence
Titus 2:7-8
Christian worship and ministry in the church are worthy of the highest standards of excellence in quality and substance. We always fully give our best effort to achieve this standard, and we learn from the times when we fall short of it.
