OUR VISION AND VALUES
Making Disciples
The Great Commission
is vital to the life of Crazy Love.
We partner with Jesus in His mission to make
disciples of all people groups. In this endeavor, we value
the sending and the going, baptizing, teaching, and equipping
disciples for the work of ministry.
In choosing to love and follow Jesus, we embrace the same mind that was
in Christ Jesus, who did not come to be served, but to serve. We put aside
selfish ambition and look to the needs and interests of others with love,
humility, patience, gentleness, kindness, and forgiveness.
We enjoy being generous and faithful stewards of the resources
given to us by God. In our giving, we value relationship,
equity, moving towards sustainability,
and accountability.
Doing the
Gospel of the
Kingdom
We express the
Father’s heart through doing the
gospel of the kingdom and sharing the good news
with those near and far. We follow Jesus’ example to do
what we see the Father doing, heal the sick, encourage the
hopeless, set the oppressed free, revive the lifeless, mend
the brokenhearted, and care for the poor.
We value doing justice and being a voice for those without one,
such as the widowed, orphaned, poor, and marginalized.
We align our hearts with God's for the oppressed,
destitute, and those in need of advocacy through
practical, tangible acts of
love and mercy.
Being a
Family Team
Created for connection,
we celebrate the gifts of welcome and
belonging that we give to each other. As a
community divinely fit together, we live united as a
family team, where each part is vital, every part does it’s
share, and every part enjoys the benefits of being a family.
We value living in healthy relationship with God and each
other and we choose to be a safe place for people to be
themselves in their God-given identities. As such,
we honor the various cultures, ethnicities, and
generations making up our church family
including recognizing women
in ministry.
Loving God and
Being Loved by Him
Jesus is the center
of Crazy Love Church. We value intimate
friendship with Him and delight in encountering
His love, hearing His voice, honoring the scriptures,
and being faithful in prayer.
We love Jesus above all else and demonstrate this
through a lifestyle of worship and obeying His commandments. In this, we recognize our dependance
on His grace, and that our fruitfulness and
faithfulness flows from knowing
that He loves us.
Enjoying God’s
Presence
We love and enjoy God’s
presence and allow the Holy Spirit to
freely move in our church family and various
gatherings. As Jesus pours out His presence, we
respond with worship that is inspired, intimate,
and expresses His worth.
We cultivate an environment where the gifts of the
Spirit are welcomed and practiced. We affirm
scripture’s role of the gifts to encourage, edify,
exhort and bring comfort, and we exercise
healthy protocol to operate
in the realm of love.
Crazy Love Vision
To love Jesus above all,
be loved by Him,
and love as He loves
