Core values

What motivates you?

What drives you?

Kouzes and Posner, in their book, "The Truth About Leadership" state, "You can't fully commit to something that doesn't fit with who you are and how you see yourself."

Most people will join or connect with a church that is consistent with their personal values, or how they look at life.

When someone new comes to our church they ask themselves:

What does the church are about?

What drives them?

What makes them happy?

What makes them upset?

What is their story?

We as a church must understand who we are, what we care about, and why we do what we do.

Below is listed the 10 core values of Stone Church.
