What guides your church? All churches have core values, they just might not be written down on paper. Core Values guide the church in pursuing your vision and mission. They help you make decisions and next steps. They help you say 'no' and 'yes' to new ideas and ministries. Below were Ridgepoint's Core Values (elements that made up the heartbeat of Ridgepoint):
Our communities' needs are more important than our own.
It takes risk and faith to do what we are called to do.
We must do life together.
Being a Christ-follower is about being not doing.
We can't be healthy as a church, if you're not healthy in your home.
Money is never our focus, but giving gauges the heart.

It breaks my heart that these values never saw the light of day in the lives of people, but God's plan is perfect and sovereign. My heart is that more churches embody these values into the fabric of who they are. They're not Ridgepoint specific. We planned out our first years teaching based off of these values (elements) to take our people to the place God wanted us to be.
