- Humble – We are not led by title. We lead with open hands, always seeking to serve others. (We Use Our Titles as Towels; We Fail Forward.)
- Empowering – We make disciples who make disciples—equip, empower, and send! (We are Gold Miners; We Hand Over the Keys.)
- Connected – We walk slowly through the crowd; we seek to know people and walk alongside them through life. (We Smell Like Sheep; We Pull on the Same Rope.)
- Kind – People know we are disciples of Jesus by the way we love others. (We are Tigger, Not Eeyore; We Live by the Golden Rule.)
