Our core values exist to point out what's important to us. Each core value is grounded in the Word of God, especially what it says about the essence of the church. Each core value therefore also points to the Head of the church, Jesus Christ, and is lived based on the Gospel from the power of the Holy Spirit, so that the church - the people of God - is built up. The Core values give us an orientation and help us, in doing our tasks as church strong, focused, and goal-oriented.
