(1 TIMOTHY 3) We are Fun - Laughing, enjoyment, and celebration is gonna be normal here. Our calling is a serious one, but it is not one that is without amazing fun! (ECCLESIASTES 8) We are Free - We are a team on a mission. And you're free to make that mission happen! We let thoroughbreds run. We'll give you the play and make sure you're free to run it. Our team is free to lead. Free to speak. Free to innovate. Free to fail. All for the purpose of achieving the mission God has given us. (GALATIANS 2) We are Forgiving - Sin is serious and we won't let it remain in the camp. We will constantly forgive one another because we've been forgiven. When conflict happens, we'll address it quickly, respond graciously, and move forward by keeping short accounts with each other. (MATTHEW 18) We are Flexible - We embrace change! There are no sacred cows here, just a sacred goal to make Jesus famous! We'll be geared to the times but anchored to the rock. (MARK 2) We are Forthright - We want to bear much fruit! And because ministry is hard to measure we'll allow iron to sharpen iron to make one another better! So we're gonna be forthright. Because fearless feedback yields fruit!
