What should the core values of faith communities include?

These are my current thoughts (in no particular order):

Authentic relationships


To achieve genuine community members must be honest. There must be freedom of expression and permission to pass during discussions.

Corporate worship


Those who follow Jesus should journey with others whenever possible. In the 21st century, those who walk in isolation have chosen the life of a recluse.

Loving accountability


Love requires balance; encouragement as well as confrontation. This is a difficult undertaking. Friends who find this balance are to be treasured.

Devotion to God’s mission
