Core Value 6: Commitment

And let's go ahead and finish the list as long as I'm on a roll. See the entries below for the background.

The sixth core value is commitment.

The group working on an initial definition came up with this:

"Accountability - a promise made is a promise kept, to hold each other accountable (but it's okay to say no)
Acceptance of a task or engagement in the life of the church is why we hold each other accountable.

Some ideas about what this means for us:

Church becomes a culture of accountability
Say no without defending the decision
Failures are OK, but are acknowledged in appropriate ways & people learn from their failures"

So what do you think. Click "Post a comment" below to join the conversation.

And January 17, 9 AM - noon is Definitions Day. Please come -- Fellowship Hall.

Thanks. Jamie
