GIFTS: A Commitment to Develop and Use All the Gifts that God Gives to Us We will honor and care for the gift of all resources and practice responsible living, striving for simplicity rather than excessive consumption. We will practice generosity in sharing our material resources, including money, within and beyond this community. If we are not giving at least a tithe of our income, we will work toward it. We will use our spiritual gifts, talents and abilities to serve God within and beyond this community to show Gods love.
WITNESS: A Commitment to Serve as Jesus Served We will serve God and neighbor out of gratitude for the love of God. We will practice mutual accountability with a covenant group within the community, for how we serve God and neighbor. We will practice regular Sabbath as a means of renewal so that we can lovingly serve God and neighbor.

SERVICE: A Commitment to Live a Life that Is Worthy of the Gospel We will practice racial and gender reconciliation. We will resist evil and injustice and we will pursue peace with justice. We will share the redeeming, healing, creative love of God in word, deed and presence as an invitation to others to experience the transforming love of God. We will intentionally cultivate relationships with someone outside the Church.
