Threshold Ministries - Core Values

What We’re Doing, What We’re Becoming, What We Value

Family

We believe there is nothing more important than healthy united families.  We believe in the early Christian formation of children and youth.  We believe in providing programs relative to the needs of all age groups.  We believe that the local congregation involvement should be an enhancement to the home.

Excellence

We believe excellence honors God and inspires greatness.  We believe that excellence in our ministries and lives is a proper reflection of God at work in us.

Prayer

We believe in the power of prayer, and that it makes a critical difference in all we attempt to achieve.  Prayer strengthens our relationship with God and one another.  We believe that prayer is a vital key to success in our personal and professional lives.

Relationships

We are committed to building healthy and loving relationships with God and each other.  People matter to God, and they matter to us – believer and unbeliever alike – we love people!   We understand our relationship with Christ is personal not private, and we are called to live life together in honesty, authenticity, and transparency.

Equipping

We believe in equipping people for ministry and life by helping them operate in their God-given gifts.  We believe in developing men and women into leaders through effective training and discipleship opportunities.

Character

We believe that character is more important than talent.  We believe there is power in integrity.  We believe there is safety through accountability.  And accountability inside and outside the church is highly valued and considered essential to the management of the church.

Passion

We believe in living a life of wholehearted worship to God in everything we do. God is never boring, and church     shouldn’t be either! We want church to be full of the life, love, and passion of His presence! We want God’s passion to drive us to live life His way everyday!  Our worship experiences reflect our passion for God and His passion for us!

Service

We believe that an effective church serves its community.  Greatness in life comes through serving and loving others. We know life is about serving others, not ourselves, and service to others is the essence of Biblical evangelism beginning in our surrounding community and extending to the rest of the world.

Relevance

We are convinced, Jesus Christ understands you exactly where you are, and He has the answers that will transform   your life!  We believe in engaging our community with Biblical truths using culturally relevant tools reflected through our programs, facilities and service.

Authenticity

We desire to present authentic Christianity to our families and community.  We believe God’s principles for life can be lived out with a genuineness and sincerity that isn’t judgmental or hypocritical; and at the same time we believe Biblical truth stands firm without compromise and is not dependant on affirmation or acceptance by society or culture.
