Seeking to understand the dreams, gifts and strengths of people by providing a safe place for open discussion of ideas

Building on the strengths and assets of the community

Doing things WITH not just FOR the community

Focusing the gifts of many on a common vision

Serving through community and with the community by bringing those we serve into the circle

Demonstrating the love of Christ through action-Connecting people to Christ is our ultimate motive, but not our ulterior motive
Through serving our partners-We seek to build partnerships with like minded organizations that are most qualified to respond to the needs of the neighborhoods we serve
Through serving at events-There will be periodic events provided to train, serve and connect with the neighborhoods and our partners
Through Adoption of Initiatives-in every neighborhood there will be opportunities to adopt a segment of the strategy. A park, a school, a youth center, etc
