Core Values

Our vision at Auburn Church is to create a church that unchurched people love to attend. Our mission is to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. How? By creating irresistible environments that encourage and equip people to pursue three vital relationships: Intimacy with God, community with insiders and influence with outsiders.

But what are the values we hold which form the foundation on which we carry out this vision, mission and strategy? What are the constants for Auburn Church in this ever-changing world? What are our core values? What are the practices we use every day in everything we do?

Our Values
As an organization, we are choosing to value these as we pursue our mission:

Biblical Authority
God has spoken to us through the Bible and we recognize it as the final authority for our lives.

Intimacy with God
God desires an intimate relationship with each of us.

Relevant Environments
Every environment should be designed to effectively connect with its target audience.

Relational Evangelism
God`s message of forgiveness through Christ is most effectively conveyed within the context of personal relationships.

Authentic Community
Accountability, belonging, care and spiritual growth happen best with relationally-connected believers.

Strategic Service
Our spiritual gifts have maximum impact when exercised in support of our strategy.

Intentional Apprenticing
We are responsible to pass along to others the knowledge, skills and opportunities that have been entrusted to us.
