Values

West Springs Church Values

Jesus Centered

Our foundation is Jesus Christ, who is the fullness of God. The person, work and message of Jesus are the lens through which we engage in Spiritual community. Jesus is the rock on which we build anything worth building.

 

Radical Belonging

Following Jesus' example of surprising grace and inclusion, we aspire for our building, hearts, and lives to be spaces where everyone can feel loved and find belonging. We believe this will lead to profound connections that enrich our lives, faith, and community.

 

Wisdom Seeking

We value theological openness, where doubts and debates are welcomed, open dialogue of our faith is encouraged, and wisdom is sought over certainty. Our God is the living God, and through our collective engagement of scripture, tradition, reason, and experience, we open ourselves to see how the Spirit is leading us in our current time and place.

 

Impactful Action

With the wisdom and guidance of the Holy Spirit, we desire to actively participate in God's renewal of all things: working to remove injustices, providing for those in need, healing broken relationships, and cultivating a more equitable world for all.
