Values

Pinelake Church values Life Change for the Glory of God. We live out this value by emphasizing five distinctives as we lead our church:

Openness and belonging.

We believe all people have value to God and that Christ can do the extraordinary in each of our lives. Therefore, we strive to create an authentic atmosphere where every individual can:

a. Come. Pinelake is a movement of God where everyone is welcome.
b. Connect. People have the opportunity to connect in worship and small group community in a relevant, accessible way.
c. Commit. Attenders will be challenged to commit to God’s transformation in their life in practical ways and by joining the family of Pinelake.

The Word applied.

We believe the paramount way Biblical life change occurs is through the consistent life application of the Word of God. Therefore, we seek to provide a platform for this growth through:

a. Life application teaching. During corporate and public worship we strive to communicate the Word of God clearly with direct points of life application guided by the Holy Spirit.
b. Life application living. We equip the people of Pinelake to be “self-feeders” of the Word of God during their everyday walk with Christ.

Leveraged living.

We believe that God calls His followers to live a life that is focused on eternity. It’s our desire to help people live a life that is leveraged toward a Kingdom life focus. It is a call that is:

a. Sacrificial. A life that is leveraged requires the sacrifice of lesser things for greater things.
b. Strategic. A life that is leveraged demands an awareness of where God is moving, how He has equipped us and how we should respond purposefully to live out our calling daily.
c. Sent. A life that is leveraged values the “sentness” of our people to follow the leadership and calling of the Spirit as He leads.  We celebrate the mobilizing of our people to make a kingdom difference.

Family-focused.

Recognizing the importance of family, Pinelake desires to resource our families to live out God’s plan for their role and relationships. We believe that home life should be a great spiritual environment. We strive to help families:

a. Rekindle their love. For families to experience the fullness of their unique relationship we strive to encourage healthy and committed marriages that continue to grow through the seasons of life.
b. Reframe their thinking. We seek to equip and resource men and women with the tools needed to reframe minds and align their hearts concerning their unique and Biblical roles within the family.
c. Release their children. We pray, teach, and partner with parents in hope of a movement where we are preparing and releasing children to be arrows to impact the world for Christ.

Multiplication.

Recognizing that a movement of God is bigger than any one person, we desire for God to use us to reproduce leaders and churches who will continue to be faithful to the work from generation to generation. We recognize God often works through:

a. Mindset. We believe that the work of the church is to be a spiritual movement that will share the Gospel and plant churches.
b. Method. To accomplish this task, we believe that God uses and calls individuals as part of His plan. We take seriously the mandate to train up the faithful people who will continue the work of God for His glory.
c. Mechanism. We believe that God uses life-giving churches to reproduce and fuel this movement around the world.
