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!
