Trusting Biblically

Relying on God and His love letter, the Bible

2 Tim 3:16-17 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

Welcoming Generously

Generously providing hospitality to newcomers, neighbours, and one another. 

1 Peter 4:8-11 Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Romans 12:13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.

Serving Collectively

Proactively using the gifts, passions, and possessions to serve God’s mission, together. 

Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others. 1 Peter 4:10

Caring Compassionately

Meeting the needs in our church and community with mercy, kindness and respect.

Matthew 25:35-40 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

Stewarding Responsibly

Stewarding people, resources, time, and all of creation to bless current and future generations. 

Prov 13:22 A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children,
    but the sinner's wealth is laid up for the righteous.
Psalm 24:1 The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,
    the world and those who dwell therein,
