God Is Good
Our first and most foundational core value is that God is Good!
God describes Himself as our good, good Father. He is good and by nature in a good mood!
- He loves and protects and provides.
- He always turns things around for our good.
- He is slow to anger and abounding in love.
- He is gracious and compassionate and forgiving.
- He is the One who rescues.
- The One who protects.
- The One who heals.
- The One who is always present!
As our foundational belief system aligns to these truths, we begin to see that God is Good – all the time!
