Staff Values and Ethics:

All in, All the time (Philippians 2:2)

Life on mission is not just something we turn off when we leave the office. Whether we are at work, at home, or in the community, we know that we are ambassadors for both the Kingdom of God and Life Stream.

Always Building Teams (Ephesians 4:11-12)

Our ministries should not rise and fall on us. We are responsible to equip the saints for the work of the Church. When we invite and empower others to use their ministry gifts, the body of Christ is activated.

Clear, Direct, Timely Communication (Ephesians 4:15)

We have the right conversations with the right people at the right times. When conflict comes up, we address it directly. We refuse gossip and don’t make assumptions. This grows trust and unity in our team.

Innovate, Collaborate, Celebrate (1 Corinthians 3:7-8)

We are committed to the mission, not the method. We courageously try new things without fear of failure, work together across ministries, and celebrate both successes and lessons learned.

Raise the Lid (1 Timothy 4:15-16)

When the leader gets better, everyone gets better. We intentionally grow our character, abilities, and leadership capacity, sharing what we learn to strengthen those around us.

Our Souls Matter (John 15;4-5)

Who we are matters more than what we do. We prioritize our relationship with Jesus and practice healthy rhythms of work, rest, and spiritual renewal. We believe healthy ministry flows from the overflow of what God is doing within us.
