“REFLECTING THE HOPE OF CHRIST SO OTHERS CAN DO THE SAME”
The following values are not merely aspirational; they are what Via Church values more than normal. We aren’t perfect at them, but we work to nurture these valuable qualities in tangible and noticeable ways within our faith community.
BIBLE-BASED
We are unapologetically Bible-based because there is no other source that reveals to us the truth of God in a greater way.
AUTHENTIC
We intentionally pursue authenticity in our relationships because it is impossible to grow in your faith without it.
SENT
We are purposefully sent into our world to be a blessing to those that are near and far from God because God sent Jesus to us and the Holy Spirit sends us to others.
INTERGENERATIONAL
We are passionately committed to serve generations other than our own because my preference is secondary when it comes to the needs of others.
COMPASSIONATE
We indiscriminately care for the needs of others above our own because Christ became a servant for us.
