OUR VISION

THE VISION OF FOR LIBERTY & JUSTICE IS TO MOBILIZE THE CHURCH, WAKE UP THE CITY, AND TAKE A STAND FOR LIBERTY AND JUSTICE.

OUR CORE VALUES

HEALTH

LEADERS GO FIRST

We remain healthy by prioritizing daily personal encounters with God, pursuing purity, putting family first, and protecting our sabbath so we can lead others in health. Matthew 6:33, Proverbs 3:5-8

TRUST

LEAN INTO AWKWARD

We build the trust, character, and relationships of tomorrow by engaging in challenging conversations today. Matthew 18:15-20, Matthew 5:24

COMMUNICATION

DOWNSHIFT

We choose to slow down and communicate clearly today so that we can move forward faster tomorrow. Romans 14:19, James 1:19

CELEBRATION

PUT IT ON THE BOARD

If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong! We make time to celebrate the little wins that create a big victory. Romans 15:5-7, 1 Thessalonians 5:16, Hebrews 10:24-25

FORGIVENESS

FORGIVENESS ISN’T OPTIONAL

We love mercy, so we show mercy. Forgiveness is for you, not for them. There is no spiritual growth without forgiveness. Ephesians 4:32, Matthew 6:14-15, Colossians 3:13

EXCELLENCE

GIVE YOUR ALL

We represent the Lord by doing the best we can with what we have. Colossians 3:23-24, Daniel 6:3, Exodus 31:1-11

EMPOWERMENT

OUR HEART, YOUR MIND

We empower those with our hearts to lead with their mind. We trade empowerment for teachability and humility. Exodus 18:13-26, James 4:10, Psalm 25:9

HONOR

GOVERNED BY HONOR

Honor reflects Heaven's value. Honor protects freedom, creates safe places and reflects a Kingdom identity. Honor is about self-control not control. 1 Samuel 2:30, Romans 12:10, 1 Peter 2:17, Matthew 4:1-11, Isaiah 29:13, Mark 6:1-6, Proverbs 3:9-10

Gratitude

IT’S A LIFESTYLE
Gratitude pleases the Lord. No matter what we face - valleys or mountaintops - gratitude is the answer. Gratitude is the heart posture that seeks in all things to be thankful and glorify the Lord, because it brings you and keeps you in the presence and favor of the Lord. Because He first loved us, we will forever be grateful!
Hebrews 12:25-29, Romans 1:21-25, 2 Timothy 3:1-9, Psalm 30:1-12, Psalm 5:11-12, Psalm 28:7, Luke 17:11-19, Colossians 2:6-7, Psalm 100:1-5 

HOLINESS

COME IN

We simply want to be like Jesus—holy, set apart unto God, and fully surrendered to the Refiner’s fire. We know the closer we get to Him, the more we become like Him. Holiness is found in the presence of God. Our heart’s cry is this: “Make me like You, Jesus! Make me holy!” Romans 6:19, 1 Peter 1:15-16, Hebrews 12:14, Revelations 4:8, 2 Timothy 1:9, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8

AUTHENTICITY

WE DON’T DO FAKE

We disciple through authentic relationships. We create an atmosphere for people to be open and honest by leading in vulnerability and transparency. 2 Corinthians 11:27-30, 2 Corinthians 12:9

GENEROSITY

NO STRINGS ATTACHED

We don’t give to get. We give our time, treasure, and talents from a heart of love with pure motives. Acts 20:35, 1 Timothy 6:18-19, 2 Corinthians 9:7, Romans 13:8

FEEDBACK

HEAR-HEAR

We believe healthy feedback is a two-way street. We welcome opportunities to hear what is in your heart, and we commit to clarifying what is in ours. Proverbs 1:5, Proverbs 19:20, James 1:19

STEWARDSHIP

THIRD OPTION

Stewardship is managing Heaven’s resources for the Father’s business. The heart’s cry of a good steward is, “It will never be mine, it will always be Yours!” When given the choice between an ownership or employment mentality, we choose the 3rd option - stewardship! Matthew 25:14-30, 1 Kings 3:16-28, Psalms 24:1

OUR UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS

WE ARE PRESENCE-DRIVEN

We are not built around any person or ministry. We are built around the presence of God. We consistently ask God for His mind and His heart for His house. Exodus 33:13-18, Psalm 105:4, 1 Samuel 2:35

WE WALK IN JOY

We embrace joy in every circumstance, regardless of the opposition. It’s through joy, we can find peace and gratitude in every situation. Even in the darkest hour, we choose to walk in JOY! Romans 12:12, James 1:12, Philippians 4:4-7

WE EMBRACE HUMILITY

We go low so God can be made high. We are submitted to spiritual authority in our decision-making and are willing to acknowledge when we get it wrong. 1 Peter 5:5-7, James 4:10, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Luke 14:11

WE ARE A HOUSE OF INTERCESSION

We know that it’s through intercession that we find what pleases the Heart of God. We recognize that It’s not political; it’s spiritual. James 5:16, 1 Timothy 2:1-2, Ephesians 6:12;18

WE ARE DEDICATED TO DISCIPLESHIP

We disciple people through real relationships. We are committed to speaking the truth and teaching God’s Word, regardless of how it may be received. We understand that through the Holy Spirit, we are transformed, healed, and made new. We choose to deny ourselves to become more like Him, because all Scripture is God-breathed for the purpose of teaching. 1 Corinthians 13, Matthew 28: 18-20, Matthew 16:24-25, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, John 8:31
