Serving

Service to Others – Christ-Centered Disciples are instruments of God’s love in a broken, hurting world, living lives of service to others with a strong focus on the Bible’s concern for the poor and for justice.

Sharing Christ – Christ-Centered Disciples are eager to share the good news of Jesus in loving, winsome and non-judgmental ways, and are ready to “give an answer to anyone who asks the reason for your hope” (1 Peter 3:15).

Spiritual Gifts/Talents – Christ-Centered Disciples understand clearly, with “sober judgment” (Romans 12:3) which spiritual gifts and talents they have, and use those gifts to bless others and build up the Body of Christ.

Financial Gifts – Christ-Centered Disciples view money and material possessions not as a measure of success or as a means of self-gratification, but as a resource for whose use they are responsible to God, and submit their financial lives to God’s guiding and control.

Time – Christ-Centered Disciples see time as a gift from God to be used in keeping with God’s purposes, avoid compulsive busyness, and submit their calendars to God’s guiding and control.
