Our mission and vision statements describe our purpose and our direction. Our values describe the character with which we pursue our mission and vision.
Our six core values are reflected in our name, “Autumn Ridge Community Church:”
VALUES
Autumn
Diversity
“In Autumn, leaves of many different shapes and colors blend together to create a beautiful mosaic. In a similar way, we want to represent the beauty of the Kingdom of God to and through people of various ages, ethnicities, cultures, and socio-economic backgrounds (Revelation 5:9-10)”
Autumn
Self-Sacrifice
“Just as the beautiful colors of Autumn represent leaves that are dying, so has Jesus called us to represent Him through lifestyles of self-sacrifice (Mark 8:34-35)”
RIDGE
Jesus First
“As a ridge towers over the surrounding landscape, we desire to direct people’s gaze upwards to the glory of Jesus (not to us) (Philippians 2:5-11)”
RIDGE
WITNESS
Witness (“In nature, a ridgeline helps hikers navigate. As a church, we want to help people navigate away from the fleeting pleasures of sin and towards the eternal riches found only in Christ (1 Thessalonians 5:3, 6)”
CHURCH
MISION
“Acts 1:1 is clear: the church continues Jesus’ ministry into the present-day. In all that we do, we seek to advance the mission of God: training people to learn the gospel, love the gospel, and live out the gospel in their lives, in their community, and to the ends of the earth (Matthew 28:18-20)”
COMMUNITY
Intimacy through Authenticity
“We want to bring people together: not through pretending and performing, but through transparency with one another. In so doing, humility can be developed, patience can be practiced, love can flourish, unity and belonging can be achieved, and we can all grow more like Jesus (Ephesians 4:1-3)”
