OUR CORE VALUES

Our 4 Core Values:  
   spell “L.I.F.E.”

 

Love – We maintain a Jesus-centered culture of unconditional love, among ourselves and our neighbors, appreciating our diversity (religious, political, racial, etc.), seeking to be united and reconciled with self, with each other, and with our Creator, viewing all as equal created in the image of God and willing to reach out to the least in our society.

Integrity – We focus on a value-centered wholesomeness of individual character in both our private & public lives as a foundation for trust and confidence in our community and in our organization for the vision, people we lead, resources and responsibilities entrusted to us as leaders.

Friendship – We place a priority on building meaningful & long-term relationships among staff and beneficiaries, realizing that our higher purpose, the spiritual life, can only be lived out through our relationships with each other as brothers and sisters.

Excellence – We commit to excellence in professional and organizational terms, being strategic in our learning and growth, being transparent in our dealings and decision making, and striking a balance between formality and informality in our work so as to not lose sight of the bigger picture at hand.
