OUR CORE VALUES

In yesterday’s blog I referred to CrossPoint’s Seven Core Values. For those of you who have never seen these values, I share them with you in today’s blog. I think these values say much about the contagious and vibrant attitude that permeates the CrossPoint community.

1. We value the purpose of RELATIONSHIPS.

Here is a trustworthy statement that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners – of whom I am the worst.
1 Timothy 1:15

2. We value the pursuit of HEALTH.
Did you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
3. We value the promise of OPPORTUNITY.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
Acts 1:8
4. We value the potential of LEADERSHIP.
It was he (God) who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.
Ephesians 4:11-13
5. We value the priority of SERVICE.

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as ransom for many.
Mark 10:45

6. We value the persuasiveness of CREATIVITY.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21
7. We value the power of CHANGE.

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.

Ecclesiastes 3:1
