What we value shapes who we are and who we become.

What would it look like for a church not simply to have a mission and values, but to actually become them? Every church can put words on a wall. The greater challenge is allowing those words to shape the way we live, serve, pray, give, love, and follow Jesus together. In this series, we will take a fresh look at who God is calling Unionville Alliance Church to be and how that calling should influence every part of our life as a church.

We will begin by rediscovering our mission and vision, remembering why we exist and the kind of Spirit-empowered community we believe God is forming among us. From there, we will explore the values that help us live that calling faithfully.

We will consider what it means to build our lives on the truth of Scripture and allow God’s Word to shape our character and decisions. We will ask what changes when we truly depend on the Holy Spirit rather than our own strength. We will be challenged to become people marked by generous compassion, freely giving ourselves for those who are vulnerable and hurting. We will rediscover our calling to live on mission wherever God places us, sharing the hope of Jesus through both our words and our lives. We will also return to the heart of prayer, not simply as  something we do, but as a way of living in continual dependence on God. And we will explore the kind of meaningful community Jesus calls us to build, where people are known, loved, challenged, encouraged, and formed into disciples who help others follow Him.
