Our Values
Six Core Values at GO Church
The sacrifice of His only Son showed that God places eternal value on every human life! Because of this demonstration, our responsibility (as the church) is to move beyond mere words and emotions and to recognize the eternal value in each person. The Biblical use of the word "love" is intended to elicit action, not just emotion. Therefore, we will go above and beyond in order to show anyone from anywhere just how loved they really are! (John 3:16; Matthew 5:38-48; 1 John 3:16-18)
1. We Love A Little More
2. We Grow Our People
Jesus accepts us just as we are, but He loves us too much to leave us that way! We work tirelessly to provide every person healthy discipleship opportunities to grow in their faith, relationships, wisdom, discipline, and leadership. (Colossians 1:9-10; Hebrews 6:1; 1 Peter 2:1-3)
We contend to never compromise the message of the gospel, yet we consistently seek to be creative in our methods. Having a passion for creativity and innovation allows us to understand that our mission is far more important than our methods. (Exodus 35:35; 1 Timothy 4:14-15; Ephesians 2:10)
3. We Create And Innovate
4. We Do Everything With Excellence
We are relentless about the details and we operate with urgency because we know what is at stake. We strive for excellence in every area within our church. God does not expect perfection, and we will never be a perfect church, but He does expect excellence! (Colossians 3:23-24; Titus 2: 7-8; Ecclesiastes 9:10)
Jesus leveraged His power and His position as God's Son to become a servant to even the most marginalized people that He encountered. If our goal is to become like Christ, then we must value serving the needs of others above ourselves. Becoming a servant leader requires us to remember that "It's not about me". (Mark 10:42-45; Philippians 2:3-8; John 13:12-17)
5. We Are Servant Leaders
6. We Steward With Integrity
We know that everything we have comes from God, so we will not take Him or His people for granted. We live this out by the way we steward our time, our talents, and treasure. (1 Corinthians 4:1-2; 1 Peter 4:10; Malachi 3:10)
