Core Values
The Core Values of Real Life Community Church are rooted in the entirety of Romans 12, which begins “So, brothers and sisters, because of God’s mercies, I encourage you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice that is holy and pleasing to God. This is your appropriate priestly service. 2 Don’t be conformed to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds so that you can figure out what God’s will is—what is good and pleasing and mature.” These beautiful words and those that follow are where we find our home as we seek to live out these Core Values.
Real Life
We are a community of
Real People | Real Questions | Real Love
We are people created by God and working to figure out what it means to love as God loves, and so we come together on this journey with all we are, without pretense. We do not claim to know all the answers and we enter into life and conversation as authentic people whose greatest connection comes through loving God and loving others.
Community
We live life together through
Service | Struggles | Celebration
We are created to do life together. We are only complete when the diverse gifts and graces of all are brought together. With these gifts we strive to serve our community, support each other in struggles, and celebrate the goodness of life. We truly experience the fullness of God when we share the fullness of life with each other.
Church
We partner with God as we are
Gathered | Shaped | Sent
We are people created to live in partnership with God. God gathers us to learn Christlikeness, to confess where we fall short, and to grow together in love, so we may fully reflect God’s loving image to the world. As we gather, God shapes us more and more into God’s image and sends us into the world to share God’s love.
