We
seek to work out the CGS vision and mission
statements in our flock, but there are
six specific core values
that we hope will characterize us. |
|
| |
| |
1. |
|
Gospel
Engine: the way we come into relationship
with God is the means by which we continue
to grow in that relationship. We need to
grow in our ability to speak to ourselves
and to others of the hope, comfort and acceptances
of God's rescue and adoption of us through
Christ (Gal 3.1-5; Tit 2.11; Col 1.5, 6). |
|
|
|
2. |
|
Changed
People: this is what walking with
Christ is all about. Spiritual transformation,
not moral constraint, is the sign and product
of true worship; this is the result that
counts the most (2 Cor 3.18; 1 Cor 13.1-7;
1 Cor 14.24-25). |
|
|
3. |
|
Our
Social Environments (Chapel Hill, Cary,
Raleigh, Hillsborough, etc.): we
need to learn how to better love and serve
our towns. We were all drawn to live and
work in and around our towns for various
reasons but it is ultimately the place where
God has us to live as instruments of his
peace and grace (Jer 29; Dan 1). |
|
|
4. |
|
Community:
the good news creates not only
new individuals but also a new people. In
true Gospel Community, Jesus is the "glue"
that holds us together. As we are each called
to God in Christ, we also have new unique
relationships with each other that are mediated
by Christ (Acts 2.42-47; 1 Cor 1.9). |
|
|
5. |
|
Movements
of Small Groups: we want to trust
God for a growing number of small groups
throughout our region that will testify
to the transforming power and joy of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. Shepherding groups
should be places of rich community, pastoral
support and discipleship, but we will pray
and hope that they also can be "back
doors" for people to come into the
church (Acts 2.42-47). |
|
|
6. |
|
Mission:
part of the abundant life of Christ
is found in being used by Him. The scope
of mission is spiritual, socio-economic,
vocational, and cultural--that is, we want
to be instruments of Christ so that all
these areas will greater reflect His lordship
and glory (Matt 5.13-16; 1 Cor 3.6-9; 2
Cor 5.18-21). |
