Value #1 - We Value People

 People Matter to God

We believe that people matter to God and therefore they matter to us.  God demonstrated the high value He places on people when he gave His very best, His Son, to provide the gift of salvation.  Centerpoint’s assignment is to get the message of this good news to the world so we can help people establish a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and equip them to become missionaries to the world.

(John 3:16, Romans 5:8, Luke 15:7, Luke 15:10)

Value #2 – We Value Application of Scripture

 Teaching is for life change 

We believe the Bible is God’s Word to our world.  Therefore, we must live and practice the life changing principles we discover in it.  God gave us His Word in order to equip us and change us for His glory and benefit.

(Psalm 1, James 1:22-25, Luke 6:46, Psalm 119:11)

Value #3 – We Value Authentic Community

Life change happens best in Focus groups

We believe real authenticity is best described as openness with others about our strengths and weaknesses.  We will help people find their way from the large group (weekend worship) into relationally-authentic Life groups.

 (Acts 2:44-47, Romans 7, Colossians 4:5)

Value #4 - We Value Relevance

Although our methods will change, our message will not

We believe the Bible is the most exciting book ever written, and we seek to share its’ good news in relevant environments.  We will create appropriate environments for our Preschoolers, Grade school children, Middle and High school students as well as adults.

(I Corinthians 9:22, 2 Corinthians 11:2, 1 Chronicles 12:32)

Value #5 – We Value Service

Every member is a minister

We believe God has equipped every Christ-Follower with gifts and passions so they can become missionaries for Jesus Christ.  We will encourage everyone to use and develop their gifts and talents in service to our church, community and world.
