God-first Culture
Our foundational value that God is meant to be first in every area of our lives, which expresses itself in the following ways:
God Honoring- We seek to honor Him above all else in all that we do and all that we are. (Matthew 6:33)
Bible Focused- God’s Word is powerful, life-giving Truth that is a catalyst for transformation in our lives. (Hebrews 4:12)
Passionate Worship- God is worshipped to reciprocate His extravagant love and to invite His Presence. (James 4:8a)
Conversational Prayer– God speaks today and invites us into a dynamic communication with Him so that we can experience His love, freedom, and guidance. (John 10:4)
One Vision- We are one unified team pursuing one unified dream of building a God-first culture throughout the DC Metro area. (Psalm 133:1)
Transformational Discipleship
Our value that a relationship with God should lead to authentic transformation in our lives, which expresses itself in the following ways:
Strategic Growth- We intentionally develop life-giving, discipleship systems and mentoring relationships that help cultivate wholehearted followers of Christ. (2 Timothy 2:2)
Practical Messages- Messages are designed to encourage, challenge, and equip us from God’s Word. They are not merely a theology lesson, but rather meant to inspire change in how we live and love. (2 Timothy 3:16)
Generosity- We live to give of our time, resources, and ultimately our lives to further the cause of Christ because we have a God who gave everything for us. (1 John 3:16)
Strategic Service- We position ourselves for purpose when our gifts are identified, implemented, and aligned to meet others’ needs, serving both in God’s House and beyond the four walls of the church. (Philippians 2:4)
Leadership Development- We are about developing unshakable, catalytic leaders, so that each person reaches their God-potential and impacts their sphere of influence. (Ephesians 2:10)
Intentional Relationships
Our value that you should purposefully seek out God-first relationships because we are designed for authentic community, which expresses itself in the following ways:
Honor Others- We honor God by honoring others, and therefore we seek to intentionally build a culture of genuine honor towards leadership and all peoples. (1 Peter 2:17)
Authentic Relationships- Transformation happens best in the context of healthy, God-first relationships. (Proverbs 27:17)
Attractively Diverse- We seek to be a multicultural church that looks like heaven, and we intentionally create a politics-free zone in order to build bridges for the gospel. (Revelation 7:9)
Accepting Community- No matter what you have done or what you believe, you will be welcomed because this is a reflection of God’s heart. (Romans 15:7)
Outward Focus- We are all about reaching those who have not personally encountered God and providing a place where they can experience His irrevocable love in a real, relevant, and enjoyable environment. (2 Peter 3:9)
“Those that plant themselves in the House of the Lord will flourish.” Psalms 92:13
