THE NORTHIRON CODE
1. WE REACH PEOPLE: we’ll do anything short of sin to reach people who don’t know Christ; to reach people no one is reaching, we’ll have to do things no one is doing.
2. WE ARE A DANGEROUS CHURCH: we’ll never insult God with small thinking and safe living.
3. ANYTHING WORTH DOING IS WORTH DOING RIGHT: excellence honors God and inspires people.
4. WE CHURCH NOT ME CHURCH: the local church is the hope of the world and we know we can accomplish infinitely more together than apart.
5. WE WILL LEAD THE WAY WITH IRRATIONAL GENEROSITY: we truly believe it is more blessed to give than to receive.
6. SAVED PEOPLE SERVE PEOPLE: the church does not exist for us, we are the church and we exist for the world.
7. WE WILL LEAVE A LEGACY: who will be standing on our shoulders in 20 years, we will plan with the present and the future in mind.
8. WE ARE CHURCH PLANTERS: we desire a broad impact on our community by growing wider in more places than building higher in one place; we are a church planting church.
9. WE ARE PRO-LIFE IN REAL LIFE: by serving families, we strengthen the gospel in our communities, when families are strengthened our church is strengthened.
10. WE ARE INNOVATIVE & CREATIVE: we honor God by displaying his beauty, through our gifts, talents and innovation.
