Our Values
Intimacy
with God – We don’t want people to be religious. We want
them to be intimate with God. We believe intimacy (in any relationship) requires
three things: (1) unrushed and unstructured time, (2) transparency with our
feelings, (3) mutual submission.
Strategic Service – We think too many churches are doing too
many things. We ask people at Generations to apply their hearts and hands
to the place of greatest demand (our Sunday environments). We believe everyone
needs to find a place of service.
Authentic Community - We believe accountability, care, and a sense of belonging are critical to balance and progress in our spiritual journey. These three things are best achieved within the context of a small group of like-minded, relationally-connected believers. That’s why we have groups instead of classes.
Relational Evangelism – Evangelism isn’t a program that a few people do. We believe that all believers have the responsibility of living out their faith within their sphere of influence.
Biblical Authority – We believe the Bible is our authority for how to live life and how to be free. Even though no one likes to have someone else tell them what to do, we believe that freedom can only come by living one’s life under the authority of the Bible (and what it teaches).
Passionate
Walk – We believe the one thing God wants, more than anything
else, from a person is that person’s heart. We want to see people following
Jesus by giving God everything…and holding nothing back.
