values
been spending time thinking about Eikon's core values.
A lot of debate has taken place over our values that, in a sense broadly defines the nature of Eikon.
You'll discover an excess of knowledge sharing because we want you to input into this church. We weren't lying when we told you that you were going to be extensions of Eikon.
Here's some ideas we've been tossing around:
Commission: this is why the church exists. Every Christ-follower is commissioned by God.
Creativity: This is how we present the story of Christ and the Gospel in our gatherings. Relevance to culture is not an option! The church is incarnational, not esoteric.
Character: the church is transforming, not conforming. Every follower of Jesus grows in Christ-like character.
Community: Love is the greatest apologetic. The Church is relational, not program-driven. Every follower of Christ is called and connected uniquely to serve.
We're in the beginning stages of inputing our values, so the ideas are raw.

dave, i think these values are fantastic, even more so that I've got a more expanded version (plurality, life, etc.) live via our ichat marathon the other night. this is so exciting and i can't say how pumped i am to literally watch eikon flat out do this, to perform it and live and physicalize it in such a crucial european city. god seems to strange dreams in his mind these days, and i love it. dream on (i love these closing and horribly cheesy but sincere one-liners to "cap off" the post...they're so hilarious to me for some reason)
