Gratitude

IT’S A LIFESTYLE
Gratitude pleases the Lord. No matter what we face – valleys or mountaintops – gratitude is the answer. Gratitude is the heart posture that seeks in all things to be thankful and glorify the Lord, because it brings you and keeps you in the presence and favor of the Lord. Because He first loved us, we will forever be grateful!
Hebrews 12:25-29, Romans 1:21-25, 2 Timothy 3:1-9, Psalm 30:1-12, Psalm 5:11-12, Psalm 28:7, Luke 17:11-19, Colossians 2:6-7, Psalm 100:1-5

Unique characteristics

We are a presence driven organization.

We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God. We consistently ask God for His mind and His heart for His house.

Exodus 33:13-18, Psalm 105:4, 1 Samuel 2:35

We put people first.

We prioritize relationship over ministry. We understand that the hearts of people are more important than any job, process, or task. We believe that people are not obstacles in ministry; people are the goal of ministry.

Romans 12:10

We house vision.

We empower women in ministry.

We love Israel.

Leadership standards

Daily Encounters

There is only one way to God, and it’s through Jesus — but in Jesus, there are many ways to connect with God. We disciple people by helping them discover how they best connect with God and by teaching them to access the presence of God on a daily basis.

Matthew 6:7-15, Proverbs 8:34, John 15:4, 1 Samuel 3:10

Forgiveness

Forgiveness is not optional. When you stop forgiving, you stop spiritually growing. We are never more like Jesus than when we are forgiving!

Ephesians 4:32, Matthew 6:14-15, Colossians 3:13

Sabbath

Tithe
