Our Purpose
The problem is that we—both outside the Church and inside—are more influenced by our culture than by Jesus Christ. The solution, and our vision here at St. Luke, is Jesus Christ in every life. We strive to have the characteristics of a Christ-Centered church:
- Authentic
- Irresistible
- Relational
- Transformational
- Purposeful
- Risk-taking
How will we get there?
As followers of Jesus Christ...
- We value the Bible as our foundation of Truth
- We value demonstrating Christ's love by building relationships and serving others
- We value the importance of worshipping God
- We value intentional spiritual growth into Christ-likeness
- We value taking risks and expecting change as the Holy Spirit directs
- We value each person as having infinite worth
- We value excellence in all we do in order to honor God
- We value the responsibility of each believer to introduce others to Christ
How will our leaders lead?
By means of...
- Trusted team leadership
- A system of order with integrity
- Measurement and accountability standards that honor gifts and encourage excellence
- Clear standards of communication
- Obedience through active response to the Spirit of God
