We give away 25% of every dollar that comes in. 10% is given to the local church. 10% is allocated to the scholarship fund for remedial reading tutoring in the Lansing area. 5% is given to WEC - an organization that mobilizes the Gospel to unreached peoples.
We strive to make everyone feel welcome and like they belong. We aim to treat everyone in a way that makes them feel loved, liked and accepted, just as they are.
We honor the dignity of all people regardless of background, economic status, skin color or religious beliefs. We honor inherent human value. We believe that everyone has unique and special value inherently as a child of God, no matter our apparent differences. We honor God as creator of our hearts and minds and author of all knowledge. We honor the Holy Spirit as the one who teaches and guides us into all Truth. We honor God's Word as Truth & we honor Christ as our Lord.
We acknowledge what we don't know or understand. We strive to remove pride and accept the process of growth, including the stumbling and mistakes that happen along the way.
We engage in healthy and honest conversation to make sense of what we see and hear. We process aloud to make meaning of information together.
We publicly disclose the use of every dollar. We purpose to follow Biblical Principles in stewardship of resources, this includes: contracting no debts, tithing, obtaining funds honorably, paying taxes, and giving generously to those we see in need. We will not seek funds that require separating ourselves from the Name of Jesus Christ.
