What are our Cultural values 

Wide view of church25
 
Being a Family + Honour + Hospitality + Serving + Encouragement  
 
Cultural values are what we aspire to be when we are together 
 
  1. Being a family through friendship and being built together like a house as in Eph 2:22
     
  2. Honour by recognising the value of each other and by responding accordingly Rom 12:10
     
  3. Generous giving of ourselves, our homes and our finances as in Malachi 3:10
     
  4. Serving and servant leadership using Phil 2:7 as our model
     
  5. Encouragment through the giving of courage, challenge and compassion 1 Thess 5:11
