values
Our identity is found in belonging to the Triune God. What we value and how we behave is governed by this relationship. As a community of followers of Jesus Christ, we desire to grow in understanding and obedience to all God’s truth.
God has shaped the Interserve community and its values through the Scriptures, our history and the people God has brought us. We celebrate the particular combination of values that gives us our distinctive culture. Our distinctiveness contributes to the beautiful diversity of the people of God globally. Interserve values, and the behaviours that flow from them, describe who we are and how we aspire to grow. Not that we have already attained all this, but we press on to take hold of that for which Christ has taken hold of us (Phil 3:12).
We affirm that the values are essentially interdependent. They also compliment and do not contradict each other in any way. Where contradictions appear to exist in a particular situation, we will seek to listen to God to guide us in how to fully express each value in that situation.
