Beverly Church Plant Update

Today we did it! We nailed down (for now) Garden City Churches 7 core values over a cup of Starbucks coffee! I think that was the secret to our most profitable meeting yet!!!

1. A Caring Community
2. Biblical, Practical Teaching
3. Strong Family's
4. Discover Your Purpose
5. Passionate Spirituality
6. Less is More
7. A Creative Edge

Everything we do as a church will be filtered through these core values...This gives us the freedom to say NO to things that can potentially side track us from fulfilling out mission. These core values are our guiding principles...They shape the way we do things...They also hold us accountable...The hardest part is that the leadership team must be constantly aware of these values in their own personal life....because as a church the leaders must embody these core values so that they turn into the values of those who come to the church!
