Mission, Vision, and Values
Mission: We exist to introduce people to Jesus and lead them in their next step with Him.
Staff Values:
- Health | Go For the Bronze: We will pursue healthy relationships before ministry by personally prioritizing Jesus first, our families second, and LifeBridge third. Jesus gets the gold, our families get the silver, LifeBridge gets the bronze.
- Teamwork | Row In The Same Direction: We will work as a team, knowing that we will go farther working together in the same direction that we will as individuals working in multiple directions.
- Risk | Get Out Of The Boat: We will take action and strategic risks in order to move the mission forward. We are not afraid of failure, we learn from failure today so that we can take better risks tomorrow.
- Excellence | Make It Better: We will always go out of our way to make our environments and experiences better in order to give people a glimpse of heaven.
- Development | Plant A Forest: We will plant trees that we may never enjoy the shade of by developing, investing in, and empowering people.
- Honor | Over Ego: We will exclusively use our influence to build into and protect each other by honoring our teammates in every direction. (1 Peter 2:15-17)
