OUR VALUES
We are gracious in our speech
Col 4:6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
We are humble in our relationships
Phil 2:3-4 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
We have integrity in our actions
Prov 11:3 The integrity of the upright guides them
Titus 2:7-8 In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.
We are diligent in our work
Rom 12:11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.
We strive for excellence
1 Corinthians 10:31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
