Following Jesus & Living with Purpose in Community.
We want to see people live their fullest possible lives and we think that happens by
following Jesus, being part of a healthy and loving community,
and using your gifts and abilities to help others.
We have a few core values at Midtown
These are the value statements we consider in every decision we make.
We were not meant to live life alone and we all need other people. Midtown is a community that will celebrate the highs of life and walk through the lows together.
Community over Isolation
Rules are good. If we didn't have them we would live in chaos. Jesus lived by a set of rules, especially two—loving God and loving others. Jesus' rules were all about right relationships.
Relationship over Religion
Do you have questions or doubts about faith? Us too. Midtown is a safe place to ask questions and even express doubts and we will search for answers together.
Curiosity over Judgement
Dialogue over Monologue
One person continuously talking is a monologue. Two people shouting over each other is a fight. Two or more people exploring important ideas together is dialogue. We prefer dialogue.
At Midtown, we value authenticity because it's the pathway to healing and wholeness. We're all broken but we don't have to stay that way. So bring your true self and lets get better together.
Authenticity over Perfection
Action over Words
DC talk was right. Love is a verb.
All of our other values are expressions of love. We are to love our neighbor as ourself. If everyone lived out this value we think things would be pretty awesome. It might even feel like heaven on earth.
Love over Selfishness
We believe that to become more like Jesus, we have to practice being more like Jesus.
