We seek to realize God’s dream for the world by living out these values:

• Courage – We respond to God’s call with boldness, creativity and honesty, engaging the realities of life with perseverance and joy.
  “Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9

• Diversity – We invite, welcome, honor and respect people of all ages, cultures and walks of life. We encourage people to use their unique, God-given gifts and abilities.
  “For as in one body we have many members, and not all members have the same function so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members of one another. We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us.” — Romans 12:4-6

• Community – We listen, build relationships, grow in faith and experience God’s grace as we work together in our urban Hilltop neighborhood and larger community.
  “As God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness and patience.” — Colossians 3:12

• Justice – We advocate for the dignity of all people by addressing basic needs, empowerment through education, and working toward a socially just world.
  “He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?” — Micah 6:8
