Mission, Vision, and Values
Knowing what a church is focused on helps you understand who and what they are about. At Common Ground, we are about people. From our relationships with our neighbors to the service to our community, we are about people coming together as one family in Jesus.
Mission:
Pursuing life as family through Jesus
Vision:
Common Ground is a multi-ethnic community pursuing life as one family transforming the world through Jesus Christ.
Values:
1. Live Graciously: Every person matters and all people need to belong to something greater their own life. We all come from a life that is lost and broken, but God calls all people to life found in him through Jesus as family.
2. Love Authentically: Loving relationships are the evidence of the reality of God. Our love for God shows in the way we love others. The highest honor of love is to love and be loved from an authentically pure life.
3. Learn Continually: Life is best learned together. God has written His story through the Bible. By studying His word and living it out together, we continue to live out the message of God as family.
4. Lead Sacrificially: Jesus exemplified our model for leadership and the church today shares that model in serving the world. Therefore, sacrificial leadership first in the home and then in the world.
