Core Values

Churches often have “Core Values” unique to their situation, location, ect.  But how often do members even know or “value” these 7 or so principles?  How does a church embody and live out these values in such a way that they are evident?  How do you possible narrow down your Core Values when the Bible contains SO many great principles?  Plus, I often find myself mixing up Core Values and Doctrine.  I’ve been wrestling with Core Values for two weeks and I still feel overwhelmed.  I feel like I have so much to say and so many beliefs and values, but at the same time I’m speechless.  I don’t want to say anything because of all that I’m leaving out…  So what are your Core Values?  What would you want your church to value?  I’ll report back tonight or tomorrow after our Core Team meets and discusses more…until then enjoy the wrestling!
