 We
could list 40 to 50 values for our district, but these values represent
the foundational principles of our movement.
•
We
consider it urgent to reach lost people. We believe it is urgent,
by the call and command of God, to personally introduce Jesus to
entire communities of people who otherwise face an impending eternal
separation from God.
• We
believe in starting all kinds of churches reaching all kinds of
people. We believe that people of all generations and ethnic
backgrounds living in rural, suburban and urban Iowa need to hear
the gospel.
• We
value the future. We believe our
past provides a root for our future. We believe God has given our
existing churches opportunities to plant some of the most exciting
churches yet to be grown in Iowa.
• We consider it essential
to start churches that will reproduce daughter congregations.
We believe healthy organisms will reproduce themselves. We believe
that churches (both existing and future) will discover among their
most satisfying and mature accomplishments the reproduction of themselves
in a daughter congregation.
• We value interdependence.
We believe as a part of the Body of Christ we are called into mutual
interdependence with one another.
