GGC'S Core Values

Hey guys

So I was thinking of what Grace Generation Church and this is what I came up with. Let me know if I missed anything or if you have something to add

Grace Generation Church Core Values

Love God- First and foremost we are to love God and have a relationship with Jesus Christ. We strive to live for Christ and become more like Him.

(Matthew 22:37-38)

Love People- We need to love each other. We need to respect and treat others with dignity regardless if they are Christian or not. We need to love those that disagree with us. We need to show them the love of Christ!

(Matthew 22: 39-40)

NO Judging- We are not to judge anyone and look down on anyone. We are not higher than anyone. We cannot act arrogant or feel superior towards others.

(Matthew 7: 1-5)

Humility- We must strive to become completely humble. We are not to compare ourselves with others but instead compare ourselves to a Holy God and His Glory and Standards. When we do that we will see that we fall tremondously short to an Almighty God. This should humble us.

(Ephesians 4:2; Romans 3:23; Luke 18: 9-14)

Grace- God's Grace is what sets us free and saves us from our sin. We are not saved by works and trying to earn our way into heaven. Since God has shown us grace, we must show grace to others. We strive to live lives based on grace.

(Ephesians 2:4-9; Galatians 5)

Unity- We must keep the Unity of the Church at all costs. We must learn to agree to disagree on issues of conviction. We must learn to work together and love each other amongst our differences and disgreements.-

(Ephesians 4:1-6; Romans 14- Romans 15: 1-7; John 17: 20-25)

Sharing the Truth- We value sharing the truth with love and respect. Sharing the truth in arrogance or in feelings of superiority is wrong. We must be gentle and respectful in sharing the Good News of God's love and the hope that He gives us. In discipline, we must rebuke the person in love and gentleness.

(Matthew 28: 18-20; 1 Peter 3: 15-16)

Acceptance- We believe in accepting anyone regardless of who they are, what they wear, or what they believe in. It does not mean we agree or approve of their lifestyle, but we want to love them and introduce them Jesus Christ.

(Matthew 9:9-13; Luke 7: 33-50; John 8:11)

Transformation Power of Jesus Chrst- We believe that it is only Jesus Christ that can transform someones life. We, the Church are only working alongside Christ- planting and watering seeds. But it is only Christ that can make something grow. 

(John 16: 1-16; 1 Corinthians 3: 5-9; John 6:44)

Family- We value the community of believers and making it into a family. Everyone should feel like they belong and that they are a part of something special. We value hanging out with each other and having fun!

(Hebrews 10: 25; Acts 2: 42--47; Acts 4: 32-35)

Dreams- We value the dreams and desires that everyone has in their heart. We believe that God has a dream for all of us. We believe He has a specific plan for our lives- a purpose that gives life meaning. We believe in helping each individual reach the dream that God has for them.

(Jeremiah 29: 11-13; 1 Corinthians 2: 9)

Discipleship- We want to everyone to as they are but we don't want them to stay where they are. We want to create culture of growth because we value everyones spiritual growth. We want people to learn and grow in their relationship with Christ. We value education. We aspire that everyone becomes educated in their faith and what they believe in.

(Matthew 28: 19-20; 1 Peter 3: 15-16)
