VALUES
We have identified seven core values that define the way we do church at New Day.
It's not an exhaustive list, but it's a clarifying one. We try to measure everything that we do in light
of the following values:
Worship is central.
The heartbeat of the church is found in giving praise, honor and our full attention to God.
Truth must be well-told.
The gospel is powerful and authoritative without our enhancements. Our task is to communicate it clearly, creatively and carefully.
Every Christian is a minister.
All believers are called to full-time minstry - whatever their life's work. It isn't just the job of a pastor.
The church is a mission outpost.
The real work of the church is out in the world -- not in programs and committees. We come together to get what we need to go back out there.
Authenticity rules the day.
Transparency is key in a hypocrisy-sensitive culture.
The church must lead the way in reconciliation.
According to Jesus, loving one another is the most convincing way to show he's real.
The Who question outranks the How question.
We want to be more concerned with knowing the Christ of the Bible than anything else.
