We value God’s mission,* not personal ego, always asking how our work serves the body of Christ and brings glory to God, not ourselves.** We value courage, rooted in Scripture, speaking truthfully and lovingly even when it’s hard. We encourage forward-moving, hope-filled action, focusing on what we can influence by God’s grace rather than dwelling on what we can’t do.***
