What We Value
At the City of Hope
WE CHOOSE COMMUNITY
Humans were never created to live alone. We are most fully alive when we live in spiritual community, and we intentionally cultivate rich authentic relationships with God and one another.
WE PURSUE GOD
We are committed to an active pursuit of God that transforms us and impacts our world. We live this out by devoting ourselves to spiritual rhythms like prayer, worship, and engaging Scripture, both communally and personally.
WE PRIORITIZE DISCIPLESHIP
Jesus said to make disciples ~ people who are following Him, being transformed by Him and committed to His mission. We prioritize raising up true disciples of Jesus without neglecting our own spiritual formation.
WE LOVE PEOPLE
Jesus said to love others as we love ourselves. God made each person in His image, giving each of us dignity and purpose. So, we treat each person as an image bearer of God, with patience, kindness and grace.
WE LIVE THE GOSPEL
We believe the Bible is no ordinary book. It holds our Creator’s living words that are meant to be lived out loud, not just read. We are committed to regularly engaging Scripture, not only for information, but transformation.
WE SEEK WHOLENESS
Just because our world is broken does not mean we have to be. We actively partner with the Holy Spirit to experience inner transformation, healing and deliverance.
WE SPREAD HOPE
Our world is broken and hurting. We are committed to joining Jesus on mission, living our faith out loud, and sharing the light, love and HOPE of Christ with those around us.
