Revelation: where each member reveals the Kingdom of God: in the Word Jesus, in His word the Bible, by the Holy Spirit, using every opportunity available.
Relationship: where each person is related through Jesus Christ; to the Kingdom of God, to his church, to a small group, recognizing a significant role and committing to healthy relationships.
Relevance: Our message will be clear in the culture where we minister using sights, sounds, and actions that our community understands.
Realization: Jesus is in the “real” world. Individuals and families recognize how they were created and why they exist. Realizing in their lives the person of Jesus because Christ is caught more than taught.
Responsibility: We are his hands and feet and join Him where He is at work. Every person understands we are trustees of God’s property for use in HIS kingdom.
