Core Values

      TRUST IN GOD - “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on you own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him , and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6

      TREAT ALL INDIVIDUALS WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT - All people are created in God’s image and therefore worthy of being treated with great dignity and respect.

      HONOR OUR DONORS - Gratitude is best displayed in the way we honor donors and volunteers through the good and faithful stewardship of their time and gifts.

      MODEL CHRISTIAN CHARACTER - Christian character is best exemplified in the fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

      ACCEPT PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR OURSELVES AND REQUIRE IT FROM THOSE WE SERVE - Personal responsibility is being accountable for personal choices and their effect on others.

      DISPLAY INTEGRITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN ALL THINGS - Integrity is the mark of one’s character and is measured by honesty, commitment and sincerity.

      STRIVE FOR EXCELLENCE IN EVERYTHING WE DO - “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord...” Colossians 3:23
