Core Values
The number one force that will shape our culture at Meadows Church is our values. What we value determines what we do. These are our seven core values:
1: WHATEVER IT TAKES
We will take risks and challenge the status quo in order to lead someone to Christ!
“For the Son of Man came to seek and save those who are lost.”
Luke 19:10
As long as there is one lost person in our community we will never stop reaching out with the love of Christ.
2: ALL ARE WELCOME
Regardless of where you’ve been, what you’ve done, or what you’re currently doing. You are not only welcome, you are wanted!
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
3: WE DO LIFE TOGETHER
Meadows is a church that is a family.
“All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer”
Acts 2:42
Church should look less like a funeral and more like a party because we have something to celebrate!
4: EVERYTHING WE DO, WE DO WELL
Excellence is a must because people matter.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”
Colossians 3:22-23
5: FAITH ALWAYS = ACTION
Faith that doesn’t move is no faith at all.
“So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless”
James 2:17
Faithfulness is storming the gates of hell and taking back enemy territory that belongs to God!
6: AS WE GROW, WE MULTIPLY
Because it was never just about any one church.
“Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
Matthew 28:19
7: JESUS IS OUR AUTHORITY
If someone predicts their own death and resurrection and pulls it off, we’re with Him!
“Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen.”
Matthew 28:5-6
