10. Simplicity

We want our church to run well and we want all we do to be done with excellence (1 Cor 10:31; Col 3:17; 23), but we never want our church to feel like it is an impersonal machine. We don’t want to create and maintain programs that will only serve to make our lives more hectic. 

We desire that our often busy lives in the suburbs of Los Angeles be increasingly God-centered, contemplative, peaceful and loving. We do not desire busy lives, but kingdom-focused, wise, Spirit-led abundant lives satisfied in God and giving honor to his gracious holy name.
