AUTHENTIC

[] God works in naturally supernatural ways. No need for hype or pretense.

[] True spiritual growth takes place in relationships--especially difficult ones!

RELEVANT

[] Everyone gets to play in the Vineyard--not just the "professionals." We are all ministers! (Eph 4 )

[] We are called to do "the stuff:" befriend those who are distant from God, care for the wounded and hurting, and help them find a connection with Jesus. Heal the sick, engage in social justice, love the addict and homeless.

CASUAL

[] We don't need to pray super loud or in flowery words. 

[] We perform for an audience of One.

THE PRESENCE OF GOD

[] God is here now. We acknowledge Your presence Holy Spirit. Come in power and healing.

[] We seek an encounter with God through worship that so satisfies our soul that we lose our taste for sin (self-destructive habits that break God's heart.)
