Judson’s Values

Creative Communication for Life Change

It’s very important to us that we present the Bible in relevant, creative ways while remaining doctrinally pure - so that it can be applied to daily life change. (Romans 12:1-3, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, James 1:23-25)

Faith And Prayer

It’s very important to us that faith and prayer are the spiritual foundations for our pursuits as a church. (Hebrews 11, Luke 17:5, 1 Chronicles 16:11)

Character Development

It’s very important to us that people develop Christ-like character and authenticity as “watermarks” of the Christian life. (Romans 8:29, Ephesians 4:25-32, Hebrews 12:1)

Safe Place

It’s very important to us to create a safe place for spiritual seekers to investigate Christianity and consider God’s place in their life at their own pace. (Matthew 9:36-38, Matthew 28:19, Luke 5:30-32, and Luke 15)

Relationships

It’s very important to us that loving, durable relationships permeate every aspect of church life. (1 Corinthians 13, John 13:34-35, 1 John 4:7-8)

Small Groups

It’s very important to us that caring small groups be the place where life development happens best. (Acts 2:42-46, Ecclesiastes 4:9-10)

Personal Ministry

It’s very important to us that every Christ-follower is equipped to discover and use their spiritual gifts in partnership with others to accomplish God’s purposes. (1 Corinthians 12 & 14, Romans 12, Ephesians 4.)

Excellence

It’s very important to us that we do things with excellence so that God is honored and people are inspired. (Colossians 3:17, Proverbs 27:17, Malachi 1:6-14)
