Cobblestone Core Values
Character and Integrity (1 Chronicles 29:17)
We at Cobblestone Community Church value character and integrity in our teaching,
in our leadership, in our finances, and in our relationships.
Outward Focused (Matthew 20:28)
We value an outward focus, just as the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve.
Biblical, Culturally Relevant Teaching (Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 2:15)
We highly value the accurate and effective teaching of the word of truth.
Broad and Deep Relationships (1 Peter 2:17)
We value a broad range of relationships, not just gathering in huddles here and there,
but it’s our goal for the whole body to rub shoulders often, students and families, kids
and adults, singles and marrieds. We also value deep relationships, and for that reason we
emphasize finding support, accountability, and intimacy in small groups.
Loving Leadership (Luke 22:25-26, 2 Corinthians 12:15)
We value a servant model of loving leadership that does not seek to lord it over others
or exercise authority over others, but that seeks to be "the servant of all" (Mark 9:35).
Edifying Worship (Hebrews 12:28)
We have no loyalties, traditions, or agendas in worship other than to do what Hebrews
12:28 says, and that is to worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.
Sincere Encouragement (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
We want a spirit of grace and encouragement to characterize the way we lead, the way
we follow, and the way we relate to one another in this church.
Trusting Prayer (Colossians 4:2)
We want to "devote [ourselves] to prayer," not because we believe in the quantity or
quality of our prayers but because we believe in the power and grace of our God.
Open and Warm Fellowship (Matthew 25:40)
We want to make a special effort to make our fellowship warm and welcoming to everyone,
and especially to those who might never have entered a Christian church before.
New and Innovative Methods (1 Corinthians 9:22)
We’re willing to try "all possible means," new or old, to love men, women, and children
into lifechanging encounters with God.
Evaluation and Effectiveness (1 Thessalonians 5:21)
We value constructive criticism and regular evaluation, because that will help us to
"hold on to the good" & not waste our time and effort on methods, programs, & activities
that don’t work.
