values

The following values help to provide the compass for our micro-world. We navigate big decisions and little acts of kindness with these characteristics. They are far from exhaustive, but they help us evaluate our integrity and being. If you were to whittle down the most important elements of our community and what we want to be, these would describe them:

• Authenticity – all we do must hold to the Gospel (good news of God’s intentions becoming reality) with great integrity
• Generosity – striving to intuitively give in every aspect of life
• Community – living together and seeking God, who manifests Himself through relationships and getting beyond oneself
• Organic – moving, growing, changing, adapting, as guided by the Holy Spirit
• Creativity – honoring beauty, imagination, play, and birthing legacies for others
• Participative/Co-Laborer – God entrusts people with carrying out His intentions
• Simplicity – focusing on the essentials; appreciating what we have
