PATIENCE: We assume the best.
We live patiently with our family, friends, co-workers and church, understanding that everything comes in God’s timing.
KINDNESS: We are rich in good deeds.
We have received kindness from God, therefore we offer kindness to others. God’s kindness leads to repentance.

We are known for our worship and devotion to God, and our faithfulness to our families through fidelity, commitment, and obedience to Jesus.

Quick to listen. Slow to speak. Slow to anger. —James 1:19
SELF-CONTROL: We own the outcomes.
We lead ourselves before leading others. We strive to know and do God’s will, not our own, as we daily walk with Jesus.
