converting latent energy in American Christianity into active energy

Spiritually, we value...

· Christ as the center of all meaningful life and ministry
· Dependence on the Holy Spirit to lead and empower us
· Scripture as God's authoritative Word
· The calling to make an eternally meaningful contribution

Relationally, we value...

· Mutual support, respect and accountability
· Serving, learning and growing together in Christ-centered community
· Nonsectarian, interdenominational partnerships

As Stewards, we value...

· Converting the latent energy of the laity into active energy
· Bias for action - works that grow out of a living faith and a grateful heart
· Working within and alongside local churches
· Sustained, humble servant leadership - not caring who gets credit
· Growing fruit on other's trees - giving, not taking
