Orlando, Day 2
Why do we talk so much about the core values of Coram Deo? Why do we have them? What do they do for a church? Today, we heard some helpful 'bullet point' explanations of core values:
Core values are unwritten assumptions that guide who we are and what we do.
They are the paradigm underlying our words and actions
They are convictions about how a church operates, not doctrinal statements about what it believes.
They are not "the only biblical way to do it;" they are "the biblical way we do things HERE." So if you don't agree with them, it doesn't mean you can't follow Jesus; it just means you can't follow Jesus with THIS local expression of His body.
Is this helpful in explaining why they're so important in a new church?
