Community Engagement Values

Speaking for Ourselves: Individuals and groups are the ones best equipped to name their own realities and needs
Creating Space: Making room for voices and the effective advocacy work of traditionally marginalized groups and issues
Seeking Collaboration: What we do is enhanced and perfected by the active participation of many
Ministry WITH Partnerships: Ministries should always be done in partnership WITH others and not TO or FOR others
Ministry is Contextual and Intersectional: Each setting is unique and has overlapping concerns
Dreaming God-sized Dreams: Creatively taking risks and experimenting with new things to maximize our potential for being on the edge of ministry innovation
