We aspire to be a Christ-centered people. Everything about who we are and what we do is interpreted and understood in light of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Key theme: A Christ-centered life fosters a cross-shaped life.

The struggle against self-centeredness is nearly as old as human history. From the Garden of Eden to the present day, the choice before us has always been my way or God’s way. The NT teaches that Christ is to be “our life” (Col. 3:4) and life in Christ is patterned after the shape of the cross. The mantra here is, “It’s not about me.” Rather, to live is Christ. This core value grounds all others.
