What are our Core Values?

Core Values:
· Gospel Centered: we proclaim and practice the good news of Jesus Christ, recognizing that it is God’s power to transform individuals, families, communities, and the world.

· Community Oriented: we love our neighborhood, the city of Denver, and its residents, intentionally committing ourselves to the good of the whole city.

· Culturally Engaged: knowing its powerful influence, we are continually seeking to identify and redeem the valuable spiritual, emotional, intellectual, artistic, and social aspects of our culture.

· Collaboratively Focused: we are not the only church in the community and we do not possess every strength, insight, and resource. Thus, we intentionally are seeking to partner with other churches and ministries to accomplish God’s mission and advance His Kingdom.

· Reconciliation Minded: believing that Jesus Christ broke down the barriers of hostility between all people, we are active participants in the healing and restoration of broken relationships in families, neighborhoods and cultural groups.

· Sharing & Serving Leadership: we follow the perfect leader--Jesus Christ, imitating His example of humility, selflessness, and equipping others in order to accomplish the work of God. Our power as leaders is to be used to serve others.

· Historically Connected: we affirm our family ties to the historic, orthodox, and reformed Christian faith and through our affiliation with the Evangelical Presbyterian Church.
