Why We Do It
Our Values
These core values are the guiding principles for why we do what we do at LifeHouse Church. These values influence major leadership decisions as well as everyday ministry plans.
We Value People
Because people matter to Jesus, we believe they should matter to the church.
We will evangelize both empathetically and effectively by creating authentic connections within our loving family (Luke 19.10; Luke 5.30-32; Matthew 18.10-14).
We Value Evangelism
Because there is a heaven to gain and a hell to shun, we are passionate about loving those far from Christ so they can connect with Him.
We will do what no one is doing to reach the people who no one is reaching (Luke 14.15-24; Luke 15; Acts 20.17-27).
We Value Community
Because God commanded us to love one another, we believe we should connect with each other as much as possible.
We will practice love-motivated ministry, ministry accomplished in groups, relationship building, discipleship, vulnerability, and accountability (1 Corinthians 13; Nehemiah 3; Luke 10.1; John 13.34–35; Luke 6.12–13)
We Value the Word of God
Because the Bible is the revealed Word of God, we believe it is essential to who we are and what we do.
We will teach Biblical truths that will transform the lives of individuals and the church (2 Tim 3.16-17; James 1.23-25).
We Value Our Apostolic Identity
Because the early church was radically dedicated to Apostolic doctrine and deeds, we believe our actions and beliefs should reflect the radical selflessness of Apostolic love, learning, and service.
We will commit ourselves to the study of God’s word, the working of the Spirit, regular fellowship with one another, irrational generosity to others, heartfelt prayer and worship, sacrificial service to our community, and tireless evangelism of the lost (Acts 2.42-47).
We Value Active Faith
Because we serve a great, big God, we believe we should have great, big faith.
We will dream big and start small. We will be movers, shakers, and risk-takers.
We Value Excellence
Because Jesus gave His all, we believe we should give Him our best.
We will strive for excellence in all things in order to honor God and inspire others (Proverbs 27.17; Malachi 1.6-14; Colossians 3.17).
We Value Relevance
Because culture always changes while the Word of God remains constant, we believe we should strive to be relevant to our community while pledging to stay true to the Bible.
We will sensitively connect through our facility, printed materials, and use of the arts (1 Corinthians 9.19–23).
We Value Sacrifice
Because Jesus sacrificed everything for us, we believe He deserves our everything in return.
We will be irrationally generous because we know it is truly better to give than to receive (Ex 36.1-5; Luke 21.1-4; Acts 2.44-48; Acts 4.34-37; 2 Cor 8.1-15).
