Yesterday we wrapped up our latest sermon series, "It's A New Day". In essence, it was a series of messages designed to communicate the core values of PCC. Core values are the non-negotiable beliefs of our church. These are the theological and philosophical ministry hills that we are willing to die on. They serve as the grid through which we filter all of our ministry decisions. It defines what we do and why we do it.
This week I will recap the series with some posts that give an overview of each of our values.
Core Value #1: We believe that when people connect with Jesus, things change.
The human soul is created to morph and grow. We aren’t static beings, we develop and change over time. The question is…what are we changing into? When we enter a dynamic relationship with Christ, we will not—we cannot—remain the same. The life of God empowers us, bringing peace and hope we didn’t have before. As we learn to live in this deep connection, we become who God intended us to be: free, secure and loving, the instruments of His presence in this world.
