The church is an organism not an organization. Healthy organisms grow and we desire to grow by becoming warmer through fellowship, deeper through discipleship, stronger through worship, broader through ministry, and larger through evangelism. Our vision, our purpose, and our values dictate how we intend to impact our community for the glory of God.
Our Values
Our values help us to frame our purpose. Our values (the following priorities) act as handrails to keep on track as we seek to accomplish our vision through our purpose. Our values include:
God
At Burnett we believe in God and the message of the Bible in a society where everyone is an authority but God.
Relevance
At Burnett we maintain a contemporary focus because our faith should apply to the challenges of today.
Relationships
At Burnett relationships are priorities. We are attempting to build a community of care because life is difficult at the best of times.
Openness
Our casual, warm, visitor-sensitive atmosphere is aimed at making anyone feel at home.
Diversity
Our backgrounds are diverse and we celebrate diversity because the people that make up our church are diverse. What unites us is our common love for Jesus Christ.
Families
While we recognize that the family is changing, we still believe it is the best method for wholeness in society.
Time Sensitivity
Our church programming is not meant to compete with your lifestyle but to complement it.
Integrity
At Burnett we believe that inner character is more important than outward image. Therefore, we value and work hard to be genuine and authentic in our faith.
