VALUES:

​

Every family, every organization and every church has a culture. Here are the THREE CORE VALUES we want to describe and prescribe the culture we create at the Village, along with a set of questions we ask to ensure we’re personally embracing the values:

 

1) Welcome the Stranger

 

Jesus loved us by welcoming us. Out of his welcome, we love loving the stranger.

Am I creating space in my life to offer my neighbour the welcome I have received?

 

KEY VERSE: “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” (Hebrews 12:2)

 

2) Serve Together

Nothing is more fun than to take the low place of service alongside people you love.

Am I serving others or do I expect to be served?

 

KEY VERSE: “Looking not only to our own interests, but also to the interests of others” (Phl 2:4, par)

 

3) Learn the Way of Jesus

We honour Christ and live with integrity by taking his call on our lives very seriously.

Am I pursuing the next best thing God has for me so that his way of life is seen in my way of life?

 

KEY VERSE:  “As the Father sent me, so I am sending you” (John 20:21)
