| Crossroads' Core Values | |||||
| God-dependent |
We want to be a church that consciously depends on God for our ministries and our daily lives. “We live by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5, Proverbs 3:5-6 |
||||
| Christ-centered |
We intentionally focus our teaching and ministry on Jesus Christ as the author and finisher of our faith. “We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.” Colossians 1:28 |
||||
| Biblical |
We believe the Bible is the inspired word of God and we depend on it
as our final authority for truth and life. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17 |
||||
| Grace-based |
By
God’s grace we are saved by faith alone, enabled to live the
Christian life, freed from the law and transformed into the image of
Christ. “…for we are under grace, not law.” Romans 6:14, Ephesians. 2:8-9, Galatians. 5:1 |
||||
| Authentic |
We
want to be a church where the love of God among us makes this a safe
place to honestly share our struggles and joys. “Love one another…care for…encourage…bear one another’s burdens.” John 13:34, Hebrews 10:25, Galatians 6:2, Romans 12:15 |
||||
| Every-member Ministry |
Since every believer is indwelt by the Holy Spirit and given gifts,
we believe the ministry is to be shared by every member. “Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms.” 1 Peter 4:10 |
||||
| Missional |
We seek to carry God’s message of transforming grace to a lost and
broken world through our words and actions. "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19-20 |
||||
| Innovative |
We believe our freedom in Christ gives us great liberty to be
creative in the way we carry out ministry. “Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things…” Psalm 98:1, 1 Corinthians 9:22-23 |
