Our Culture Statement
All we do, and how we do it, seeks to promote God’s beauty, goodness, and truth in a broken world. As such, we are defined by our ability to make people’s lives measurably better; our ability to deliver impact is the measure of our collective success. For we know that we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God has already prepared in advance for us to do.
We believe that every imaginable problem has a solution, and that our contributions make a difference. Therefore, we are voracious in our efforts to discover and build sustainable solutions and view well intentioned failure as an opportunity to learn, do better and innovate.
We affirm that those we serve are best placed to define the value that should accrue to them, how it should be delivered, whether our efforts have worth, and who should hold us accountable.
We are at our best when we seek first to understand, then be understood; take ownership for our behaviors; promote the success of others; collaborate to advance our shared purpose; and assume positive intent in all things, until proven otherwise.
We believe that curiosity is indispensable to driving meaningful change, and requires us to challenge our own assumptions, and the status quo and embrace ambiguity and discomfort in our search for what is good and right.
We embrace God’s call for us, individually and collectively, to put His Kingdom and those suffering from poverty, injustice, and marginalization first; and to persist and persevere until we achieve our mission.
