Radical OBEDIENCE to the Holy Spirit: Like Jesus, we seek to do what we see the Father doing. We acknowledge his right to break our rules and offend our sensibilities.
(John 5:19; Psalm 127:1; John 3:8)
RELATIONAL: We are a community of friends with shared vision and values, driven by friendship rather than function.
(John 15:14-15; Luke 10:1-22; 1 Peter 4:7-11; 1 John 4:7-12)
INDIGENOUS: We respect, value, and honor cultural diversity.
(Revelation 7:9-10; Daniel 1; 1 Corinthians 9:20-21)
INCLUSIVE: We work with anyone sharing our vision and values, regardless of race, age, gender, or church background. We build unity and enjoy diversity.
(Colossians 3:11; Ephesians 4:3-6)
LIKE JESUS: We seek to be like Jesus in how we do what we do. For us, the means do not necessarily justify the ends.
(2 Cor 3:16-18)
DEEPLY ROOTED: We are committed to growth in maturity rather than size.
(Psalm 1:1-3)
CREATIVE and INNOVATIVE: We embrace God-inspired creativity as integral to authentic expressions of prayer.
(Exodus 35:30-35; Genesis 1:1-2; Psalm 45:1; Proverbs 8:22-31)
JUSTICE: We will pursue justice and freedom from oppression for humanity and the created world.
(Isaiah 61; Luke 4:18-19; Romans 8:19-21; Isaiah 58)
STEWARDSHIP: We take responsibility for ourselves, those around us, and the things God has entrusted to us.
(Matthew 25:14-30; 2 Corinthians 9:6-15)
SACRIFICIAL: We believe that a lifestyle of prayer is costly at every level.
(2 Corinthians 8:1-5; 1 John 3:16-18; Romans 12:1-2)
CELEBRATORY: We believe that Jesus came to bring life to the full and that we have a Christian duty to celebrate all that is good. Fun and laughter are central to Prayer Rooms; we need not justify these.
(Genesis 1:31; Psalm 24:1; Matthew 11:19; John 10:10)
SIMPLE: We are a network of like-minded people, not some new slick organization. We are wild and unpolished in character – passionate about developing people rather than our own profile.
(Psalm 116:6; Luke 10:3-5; John 3:8)
