Core Values Create Culture

We believe that our Core Values help to create the culture.  So, from the beginning we take time in our Launch Team training to identify and clarify what matters most at Renew Church by discussing our vision and values.  If you weren't at our training, here's a summary...

VISION
Our vision is to plant a church within the heart of West Kendall which will minister to its multicultural residents. We want to develop a church community where a diverse group of people experiences renewal in all facets of life, worshiping God is a privilege not a burden, where children and youth are nurtured in faith, and where the people of God will serve their community with courage and compassion.

We also dream to become a church where the lost and hurting will find renewal and healing, and where people discover their spiritual gifts, using them to find fulfillment in their lives.  Our dream is to be a catalyst of hope and life change for the W. Kendall community for the glory of God!

CORE VALUES:

Authentic Worship:  Passionate Corporate Worship and teaching the practice of Spiritual Disciplines (private worship).
Biblical Preaching:  Develop a familiarity with the Scriptures among the Renew Church family. We believe God’s Word is alive and active and sharper than any double-edged sword.  We believe that it penetrates, convicts and reveals the desires of our hearts (see Hebrews 4:12) and we will use it as the guide for preaching, training, writing and ministries.    
Service to the Community:  Our goal is not to create a church of spiritual consumers, but a church full of servants for Christ with a heart for the needs of the community.  We will be a resource to serve our city.
Irrational Generosity: Because of God’s grace and generosity towards us, we can’t help but share our time, talents, and resources with others in ways that might seem irrational to those around us. 
Discipleship at Every Level:  Discipleship will be core to who we are at every level regardless of a person’s spiritual maturity.  This includes accountability and difficult conversations to help a person continue in their walk with the Lord.
Ministry to the Next Generation (Kids and Youth):  We believe that children and teens are not just the future of the church, but they are an important part of the church now.  We will provide age-appropriate ministries that will challenge them yet keep them wanting to come back! We also have a specific ministry to families of children with special needs.  
Developing a Culture of Evangelism:  We believe every believer is a missionary and that every person that does not believe is a mission field.  We will constantly encourage & train our people to reach those who don't know Jesus.
Sponsoring and Supporting New Churches in South Florida:  Renew Church hopes to see seven new churches planted in South Florida over the next 14 years.  We believe that the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few (see Matthew 9:37).  This may come through sending people, supporting financially, and/or sponsoring new churches. 

Have an amazing day!

P.S.  We welcomed the 40th Launch Team member this week!  We would love for you to be #41 to help us launch Renew Church with the momentum necessary to make this vision a reality!  Interested?  Let me know!  Our team is headed to Generation Church this Sunday in Coral Gables to learn from them and encourage them in their journey. They planted in a Middle School last January and they are doing some amazing things for our city!
