Guiding Scripture:
The Word became flesh and blood,
and moved into the neighborhood.
We saw the glory with our own eyes,
the one-of-a-kind glory,
like Father, like Son,
Generous inside and out,
true from start to finish. John 1:14 (The Message)
WHAT WE VALUE
Abundance
We believe that God created a “very good” world with everything needed for life to flourish, and that the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus make this possible.
All people are created by God and have been given gifts and talents.
Community flourishes when we assume God’s goodness and abundance is already there and everywhere. It is our role to see, celebrate and support it.
Partnership
Greater things happen when two or more churches partner with each other to join God “in the neighborhood.”
Partnership goes beyond the local churches and connects with local organizations and stakeholders.
Solidarity
Our role is to walk alongside and stand with people that are marginalized.
We are in relationship with those on the margins, and therefore, strive to come together with them, instead of only doing things for them.
Transformation
When abundant community is gathered and celebrated, change happens.
Joining God in the neighborhood is both a bold and vulnerable act that inevitably leads to transformation.
The fruits of what God does bears both expected and unexpected fruits.
Responses should be in narrative form with a maximum of 250 words per section. Questions listed under each section are to serve as prompts for the narrative response. The committee expects the content of each question to be addressed in the applicant’s narrative answer.
