SY 17-18: 24 Core Value Discussion

• Review Draft Proposal (Jon Winter)

God is the author of all truth (John 14:6) (John 8:32)

• God is Creator, Sustainer, Redeemer and Restorer of His world (Col 1:15-17)
  
• In Him is all knowledge (Colossians 2:3)
  
• God’s unified truth in His Word (John 17:17) and in His world (Romans 1:19-20)
  

is the lens through which we view education

God created humans in His image (Gen. 1:27)

• Each individual has intrinsic value and is worthy of respect (Acts 17:29; Deut.

6:5))

• Each individual has unique gifts needing to be developed (1 Cor. 12)
  

God created humans for community (Acts 2:42 - 47)

• Community reflects God's triune nature and is best expressed in a relationship

with Him through Christ and with others (Gen. 1: 26-28)(1John 4:9-12)

• Community requires service (1 Pet. 4:7-10)
  
• Community extends beyond our local boundaries (Is. 12:4; Matt. 28:19)
  
• Community resources require wise stewardship (Col. 3: 23-24; Matt. 25:21)
