We are FAMILY - Our families are our first ministry, not the church. Our families will love the

We are FORGIVING - Sin is serious, and we won't let it remain in the camp. We will constantly

forgive one another because we've been forgiven. When conflict happens, we'll address it quickly, respond graciously, and move forward by keeping short accounts with each other.

(MATTHEW 18)

We are FLEXIBLE - We embrace change! There are no sacred cows here, just a sacred goal to

make Jesus famous! We'll be geared to the times but anchored to the rock. (MARK
