A good purpose statement consists of three parts: who (identity), what (action), and why (reason). Below are three options within each of these categories. What combination do you like the best? Why?

Who: Identity

What: Action

Why: Reason

Why did you choose these options?

Please read the below Core Values and answer the next three questions pertaining to them.

Core Values – Final Wording TBD

Big God – Our God is glorious in every way and rules over all as the Sovereign King, so we seek to worship him passionately and submit to him completely every moment of every day.
Clear Gospel – We long to be known as people who are unmistakably clear that the gospel of Jesus Christ is God’s power to save.
Word Work – The Word of God does the work of God, so we devote ourselves to hearing God speak through faithful preaching, teaching, and discipling.
Meaningful Membership (or Committed Relationships) – The local church makes the gospel visible as we gather to worship our Risen Lord, practice the one another’s, and help each other follow Jesus throughout the week: because Christ is committed to us, we are committed to each other.
Heavenly Diversity – Heaven will be populated by believers from every tribe, tongue, language, and nation; therefore, we long for this church family to be diverse in every way possible to serve as a foretaste of what is to come.
Conscious Dependence – Through bold prayer, patient suffering, and mutual encouragement, we rely on the Holy Spirit’s help throughout all of life.
Joyful Obedience – As people redeemed by Jesus, we labor to be so formed by the gospel that we happily obey God in all things.
Strategic Witness – Since God providentially placed Church on Mill across the street from ASU, a university of worldwide influence, we especially seek to share Christ and our lives with American and international students in hopes of their new birth and life-long ministry in Christ.
Glad Sending – With spiritually unreached and underserved communities abounding in Arizona, the United States, and around the world, we ask God to raise from among us pastors, missionaries, and church members to plant, revitalize, and strengthen churches elsewhere.
