Every church community has core values, the ingredients that shape the nature and experience of it. Here are some of the key values, that make up the main 'flavours of our church'.
1. Being Real: We value being able to share our struggles together. We want to be real about our relationship with Jesus, in all its highs and lows.
2. Being Naturally Supernatural:
We believe that Jesus doesn't leave us on our own, but that he is present with us, and we can experience him today through his spirit. We believe we can experience Jesus without us needing to hype, or manipulate each other into experiences, with weird language and unnecessary jargon.
3. Being Passionate About Jesus:
Did we already mention we love, and follow Jesus? He is our basis for living and being, we are nuts about him!
4. Having Fun: Following Jesus is the most challenging adventure we can give our lives to. We've found that in this journey there is a lot of fun to be had together. We take Jesus seriously but not ourselves, when it comes to church and mission.
5. Doing Things Well:
We are committed to stewarding the resources God has given us by doing
things well. We strive to offer high quality ministry so that we have a maximum impact in our community.
6. Leadership & Gifting: We believe in releasing people to lead, as God has gifted them. Allowing them to start, develop and oversee ministries in and through our community.
7. Mission & Action:
We are a community of activists where everyone gets to play their part and pay their way. We are committed to enabling each other to serve, and give to the mission of Jesus.

8. Traditioned: In a culture that forms us by advertising and shopping, we want to live a Christian life formed by the beliefs and experience of the church in history. We want a faith lived around the practices of Christians across 2000 years and not our consumer dreams.
