Expectations “A strong belief that something will happen, or be the case in the future”

“When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.” -- Donald Miller

What you can expect from us Honesty and transparency We will just be ourselves Relational versus religious Speak the truth in love Have clear boundaries for our family, marriage, church and life What we expect from you, the Church Love one another Speak the truth in love Be kingdom minded Love and live the gospel 24/7 Be transformational Love God with all your heart, love yourself so you can love others

What you can expect from us We will love you and always believe the best about you We will pray for you We will make mistakes We will give 100% to the work of God and His church What we expect from you, the Church Be change agents wherever you are Pray for us Be grace-filled people towards us and others – because we are not perfect Forgiveness

I Corinthians 12:4-6 “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.”

I Corinthians 12:12-14 “Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body – whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free – and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.”

Ephesians 4:12,13 “..to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”
