Life Giving Values

Recently I read a blog post from Billy Hornsby, who heads up the Association of Related Churches. He listed out 6 values present at a "life-giving" church. I'm providing the list below. I'd love to hear some specifics on how you feel The Net has represented these values over the past few months:

Life-giving Church Values:

1. Relational. Life-giving churches prioritize authentic friendships.

2. Generous. Life-giving churches strive to “go the extra mile,” equally sacrificing together.

3. Risk-taking. Life-giving churches and pastors are willing to do something new. They are not unwilling to fail.

4. Inclusive. Life-giving churches believe that every believer can be in ministry and they encourage God’s gifts in each individual.

5. Contemporary. Life-giving churches believe in engaging with our culture, embracing media & technology.

6. Fun. Pastors of life-giving churches understand that experiencing joy in the journey and laughing together is a key ingredient to a healthy, life-giving church.
