is contemporary and relevant, to a standard of excellence that honors Him (1 Cor 10:31)

and to providing a healthy, satisfying and encouraging work environment where each staff
member shares responsibility for the morale and relationships in the office (1 Pet 2:12)
• Attitude – God gives us the strength to do whatever he wants done, so we are committed to
having a positive ‘can-do’ attitude (Phi 4:13)
• Fun – God loves laughter and celebration. Our goal is for the staff culture to reflect God’s
character and personality, so we will be relaxed, have fun, and celebrate the successes he gives
us (Ps 126; Lu 15:10,22-25)
