Core Values

Core Values

What defines a church? What are those things that make one church different from another? Is a denomination really what sets us all apart? I beg to differ!!

If you are apart of a denominational church then, rightly so, your affiliation a lot of times determines who you are. Especially if you are held to a strict agenda or way of ministry. But what sets most churches apart are their Core Values. These are not necessarily the great commission items of the Bible that we are all called to do. “Go ye into all the World” or even specifically having a great children's and youth ministry. Most churches will have all of these to some degree.

Core Values are those specific things that God has called your church to do. Though all churches are called to reach teenagers, some churches feel its their sole purpose in life to aggressively pursue this generation. That would be a core value.

At YOURplaceCHURCH our core values are still under construction. We have determined that we do want to be:
Authentic- In our worship, service, and life
Relational-Through Small groups, DNA meetings, and New Peoples classes
Influential- leading by example
Uncommon Hospitality-Lets utterly freak people out by our non-selfish service to them (not inward minded but outward)
Relevant in Communication- It’s not trying to MAKE people hear, but more of HELPING them to UNDERSTAND
Atmosphere- Starbucks meets U2 at a Billy Graham Concert

Our Core Values are what set us apart from every other church in Pryor. We genuinely want to reach everybody who breathes!!! But we feel that god has uniquely called us to do it in such a fashion that is meeting them right where they are. Isn't that what Jesus did?

God Bless
