Core Values reflect the culture of an organization. These speak to the nature and character of our Providence family. The Core Values of Providence Church are: Love; Faith; Grace; Community & Journey. If you are curious about Providence, what we believe or are interested in getting more involved, please join us the first Sunday of every month for the “Providence in 5” session. The “Providence in 5” takes a deeper look into our 5 Core Values, our Mission and where we extend information and an invitation to Partner with us.
Love
Jesus referenced Deuteronomy 6:5 when said in Matthew 22:37 that the Greatest Commandment was to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” He went on to say that the second was like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Jesus also said in John 13:35, “By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”
We value authentic Christ centered relationships. We strive to have our spiritual family be known for this. We want to be the most loving fellowship we can be and have this be what we are known for.
We also believe that as a result of experiencing God’s love, we are compelled to share and we encourage all Providence family members to share their story. Everyone has a love story that can touch and inspired more to see Christ. We share with our family, friends, coworkers and within our community and spheres of influence. We share not only about our lives before Christ, but also about what Jesus is doing in our lives now. Jesus changes lives, so share your story.
Faith
We read about the ‘Hall of Faith’ in Hebrews chapter 11 and can become amazed and overwhelmed with the calling to live by faith. What will amaze you is that our faith is rooted in Jesus Christ and can be both so small and yet so big.
Grace
Grace can be often misunderstood and yet so powerful once grasped. We lead with grace and forgiveness.
Community
You were also created for a relationship with others. God intended for you to be able to enjoy this journey with others. Jesus also had on his heart to serve the greater community and to have a heart for needs around us. Our goal is to see every member developing their God-given abilities and using them to serve the world around them.
We believe in embracing our communities and making an impact for Jesus through our jobs, schools and in how we serve. We invite you to partner with us and get involved with service projects and share the love of Jesus Christ.
Journey
You were created for a personal relationship with the Heavenly Father. We believe strongly in given every member of Providence tools to support their spiritual growth. We are not all in the same place spiritually and it is important to foster an atmosphere for spiritual development.
We believe that God has blessed us with incredible gifts and talents and we encourage every member to live those out both inside and outside of the fellowship. We strongly believe in the concept of community as our members engage in their respective communities trough activities such as Serving and holding Bible Discussion Groups. Providence is a family of disciples from all racial and economic backgrounds.
Please visit and see how powerfully God can work in the hearts of those who are devoted to Him. Join us as we allow the Spirit of God to empower us, direct us and embolden us to change our world one heart and one community at a time.
