Our Core Values
The core values that undergird and inform the vision and
mission of CentrePark are as follows:
- Passionate Spirituality
Passion for God, deep devotion to Christ,
bringing life-change on a personal level (Philippians
2:1-11, 2 Cor 8:7, Matt 22:37)
- Relevant Truth
Bible-centred and culturally relevant in
faith and life, speaking the deep truths of Scripture to
ourselves and our world in a way that makes sense to our
society (2 Tim 3:16-17, I Cor 9:19-2 3)
- Authentic Community
Authentic, “real” people in loving
relationships, serving each other and growing together; a
place where faith, love and hope are central (Acts 2:44-47,
Ephesians 4:20-32)
- Gifted Teamwork
Each person creatively using their natural
and spiritual gifts as part of a team (Romans 12, Ephesians
4)
- Multiplying Growth
Life-change through relationships,
multiplication of church and community impact (Acts
2:42-47, John 15:1-17, Colossians 2:6-7, I John 4:7-17)
- Community transformation
Changing the face of our community and
world, touching the lives of many people with the good news
of Jesus Christ , building the kingdom of God (Luke
13:18-21, Acts 6:7)
- People Centred
People matter to God; spiritually lost
people matter to God, and they should matter to us; taking
risks and being creative to seek and to save those who are
lost (Luke 5:30-32, Luke 15, Luke 19:10, Matthew 18:14)
* There is no planned hierarchy of values in the above
listing. In a very real sense each implies and points to
the next.
