Our Values
Mission and Purpose Statement
Stone Creek Church exists to help people find and follow Jesus Christ.
Core Values
Our core values reflect our desire to positively affect the East Central Illinois region and the nations of the world. These core values come out of a greater understanding of the church of Antioch found in Acts 11 & 13.
We value...
...diversity. In being missional, we desire a church that is multicultural,
multi-ethnic and multi-generational.
...missions, both locally and globally. Our strategy is to give of our resources and to send people out.
...growth. We show this through by establishing a culture of discipleship and
relationships.
...relevant and practical Bible teaching. The Bible is our source for faith, rule and conduct and still applies to our lives today.
...financial integrity and generosity. God entrusts resources to us for the purpose of reinvesting them in our community.
...volunteerism and leadership. We are committed to developing each one’s gifting and abilities.
...worship and prayer. We are commited to establishing God’s Presence as he guides, directs, and empowers us.
We desire that through these clearly defined core values and statements, God will enable us as a local church to see the believers commit to the following shared goals. Each one would…
- Protect the unity of our church family.
- Share in the responsibilities of our church family.
- Serve in the ministries of our church family.
- Support the testimony of our church family.
