Berkley 1st Core Values

 

Jesus Christ is the Foundation of our Church

Everything we believe and everything we do is based on the example and teachings of Jesus. Loving God, loving one another and becoming disciples for Christ are the reasons we exist.

Fellowship and Community

We share with each other our everyday experiences, our hopes, and our fears. We come together in times of joy and sorrow, creating a strong sense of family within the body of Christ. These developing relationships bring us closer to God.

Welcoming Visitors

We are a friendly church, eager to share our joy and love with others.

People Matter to God

God works through people. Each person is unique and vital to God's plan.

Strong Families

Strong Christians make strong families. In worship and fellowship we, an extended family of God, nurture family life in all forms.

Praise and Worship

Gathering together to honor God is an essential part of why we exist. Our worship is joyful, enthusiastic and heartfelt.

Missions

We are a mission-orientated church, and we give our time and resources to those in need be they in our community, our nation, or our world.

Christian Education

We believe life is a faith journey. We encourage people of all ages to grow in their faith and learn to apply Biblical teachings to their everyday lives.

Youth Programs

The transition from youth to adulthood is not easy. We want our young people to have a solid Christian foundation as they explore new opportunities and create their own identities.

Lay Ministry

The lay people of our church provide continuity, helping to focus on our ministries and programs most important to our members.
