Our values
At Cornerstone, we look to His living Word as the foundation for all we do. Our core values are inspired by the teachings of Jesus and the truth of Scripture. Each value reflects our desire to serve, love, and honour God in all we do, as we walk alongside those seeking hope and restoration.
Integrity Operating with honesty, transparency, and integrity in all aspects of our work.“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.” (Proverbs 10:9, ESV) “Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all.” (Romans 12:17, ESV)
Respect and Dignity Treating everyone with respect, dignity, and worth, regardless of their background or circumstances. “And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.” (Luke 6:31, ESV)
Hope and Restoration Pointing to Christ who offers hope and restoration for all individuals, families, and communities “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28, ESV)
Community and Fellowship Fostering a sense of community and fellowship among individuals and providing opportunities for connection and support. “And all who believed were together and had all things in common.” (Acts 2:44, ESV)
Faith and Prayer Integrating faith and prayer into our work and providing opportunities for spiritual growth and development. “Pray without ceasing.” (1 Thessalonians 5:17, ESV) “And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6, ESV)
Love and Compassion Demonstrating God’s love and compassion to individuals in need. “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Mark 12:31, ESV) “So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” (1 Corinthians 13:13, ESV)
ervice and Humility Serving others with humility and prioritizing the needs of those we serve. “But whoever would be great among you must be your servant.” (Mark 10:43, ESV) “Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for ‘God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.’” (1 Peter 5:5, ESV)
