Last Saturday at our leadershership retreat we renewed our core values for Southside. Here's what we came up with:
To be a Christ centered fellowship. We want to take the example of Jesus seriously. Not as easy as it sounds. Jesus said and did a lot of things that make us uncomfortable.
We want to be a Bible centered fellowship. We want our preaching and teaching to come from God's Word. We want to be anchored in the Word, not in tradition. Again, not as easy as it sounds - but that is what we desire to do!
A House of Prayer. We want our church life to reflect the value that prayer is paramount in both our individual and cooporate lives.
We love children. Jesus loved children, and so do we! Children are not the church of tomorrow; they are the church of today!
To be a family. We want people to be drawn to Christ because of our love for each other.
I know that those core values aren't very original but I do believe they are life changing. What are the core values of your fellowship?
