Spiritual Leadership with Dr. Paul Chappell

What Are Core Values and Why Do They Matter for a Church?


Listen Later

Every church has core values, but not every church has written them down. And actually, it wasn’t until several years ago that I and some of the other leaders in our church worked on writing our core values. Both the process and the product proved to be a helpful exercise and tool. Today, we have our core values visibly displayed and give them to each new member. They are a key way that we communicate the philosophy of ministry and goal for the body life of our church family.


Whether you are a church planter or have been pastoring for many decades, clarifying the core values of a church is beneficial at any stage.
