CORE VALUES
At City Life, we are passionate about making Jesus known. This is accomplished by living out our four core values.
Generational Legacy
We value, equip and fuel the potential of the next generation.
Generational Legacy
We have a great responsibility to those who are younger than us. We recognize that there is great potential in the next generation with opportunity for both good and evil. We choose to bring out the good by discipling, loving and relating to those who follow us.
Godly Influence
We measure our success by marketplace and community impact.
Godly Influence
We know that only the presence of God can redeem the culture, so we are active and present within the culture, being salt and light wherever we go. We choose to seek out common ground with others in the marketplace and community and be known for what we are for rather than what we are against. We recognize that loving our city means loving the people in it.
Authentic Connection
We value honor, unity and harmony in our relationships in order to connect deeply.
Authentic Connection
We honor one another without merit, choosing to believe the best about one another, being slow to speak, quick to listen, and eager to serve.
We design our strategies within the boundaries of what is important to Jesus.
Jesus loves the Father, therefore we are a church of worship. Jesus loves the World, therefore we care about what happens outside our buildings to the ends of the earth. Jesus loves the Lost, therefore we reach out to those lost in sin, the hurting and the broken. Jesus loves the Poor, therefore we help the needy. Jesus loves the Church, therefore we love, build up, disciple and fellowship with one another.
Holy Spirit Presence
We highly value the presence of God while striving to walk in unity and harmony with one another.
Holy Spirit Presence
We know that without the presence of God, we are wasting our efforts. Therefore, we call upon the Holy Spirit to be present and active both in our lives and in our gatherings.
We invite the Holy Spirit through prayer, worship and right living.
We desire to overflow with the Fruit of the Spirit and operate in the power of the Holy Spirit.
