Our Core Values
Commitment to the Local Church
We are happy to be a missional arm of Christ Church (PCA), and to partner with it for its success and God’s glory. Christ Church provides our ministry with accountability, leadership, and resources. It is the desire of Campus Outreach to mobilize graduates from our campus ministries into the local church in order to help it grow & thrive. (Matthew 16:18)
Authority of Scripture
The Bible is the ultimate authority for our lives. The Bible will be the first place that we go in order to make sense of different sides of an argument. The Bible will be the filter that we use to evaluate the quality of the teaching and training we receive and give. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Gospel Saturation
This helps us know God and ourselves. We will consistently look at the cross and let it breed security, identity, humility, a privilege mentality, and a passion for Christ within us. This also means we will bring others to know Christ and Christian community back to the gospel. (1 Corinthians 15:1-5)
Life-on-Life Discipleship
We will seek to give spiritual leadership from a standpoint of relational depth and knowledge of the person, not generalized principles that may or may not hit the issue that God is pressing upon this person. We will seek to disciple and evangelize people with our lives more so than with a program. (1 Thessalonians 2:7-8)
Commitment to the Team
We are committed to impact our churches, campuses, ministry targets, and international opportunities as teams, not as individuals. We are committed to forming high performing missional teams to accomplish all of our ministry objectives and goals. We believe that God will use our differences to make our campus movements and other ministry endeavors much stronger rather than make us factious. (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10)
