  12. Theology of Values The Bible addresses values from cover to cover. 2. It specifically addresses the church’s core values in Acts 2:41-47. 3. Luke seems to point out five essential functions that are also values of a bibli- cally balanced, spiritually healthy church*

  13. Theology of Values JERUSALEM CHURCH Five Essential Core Values 1. Evangelism (Ac. 2:41, 47) 2. Bible doctrine (Acts 2:42) 3. Fellowship (Acts 2:42, 44, 45, 46) 4. Worship (Acts 2:42, 43, 46, 47) 5. Ministry/service (Acts 2:44-45)

  14. Importance of Values “The most important single element of any corporate, congregational, or denominational culture, however, is the value system.” Lyle Schaller, Getting Things Done, p. 152

  15. Importance of Values “Twenty-first century leaders no longer lead from the authority of their position, but by an ability to articulate a clear direction for and the core values of their congregation.” Bill Hybels and Ken Blanchard

  16. Importance of Values •Determine ministry distinctives. •Dictate personal involvement. •Communicate what’s important. •Influence overall behavior. •Inspire people to action. •Enhance credible leadership. •Shape ministry character. •Foundational to the mission and vision. •Determines organizational identity.*

  17. Importance of Values ORGANIZATIONAL IDENTITY • Core values are the essence of an organization’s identity. • They are vital to what it’s all about. • They make up its essential DNA. • They answer the question, Who are you?

  18. Importance of Values ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE • Core values are the primary ingredient of an organization’s culture. • Knowing your core values is key to understanding your organization’s culture.

  19. Definition of Values WHAT ARE VALUES? The beliefs that drive the ministry.

  20. Definition of Values WHAT ARE CORE VALUES? The constant, passionate corebeliefs that drive the ministry.

  21. Definition of Values Core Values drive and shape the ministry: Make decisions Predict organizational behavior Set goals Establish priorities Set the tone and direction Make policy

  22. Definition of Values “Strength comes from having a clear set of beliefs that you are willing to fight for every day.” John Edwards former U.S. senator from South Carolina

  23. Definition of Values Core values drive and thus guide and direct the ministry. They deeply shape every aspect of life at the ministry regardless its size, complexity, or age.

  24. Definition of Values • The question isn’t do we have values, but which values go deep and really, truly guide what we do? • Many organizations now have values statements. However, they often have only a minimal effect on what they do.

  25. Definition of Values Most organizations are on a journey toward some destination (mission-vision). 2. The organization’s core values guide and drive it toward that destination. 3. If the organization is off course on its journey, the problem is with its values (values aren’t in alignment with the mission-vision).

  26. Definition of Values 4. The values will guide the ministry toward some destination, but it may not be the its desired destination (mission- vision). Cf. Power of a Value Chart. 5. The solution is to change the values or the stated mission-vision.

  27. Definition of Values Values Identification 1. Functions (timeless), not forms (timely) 2. Ends, not means to ends 3. Explain why you do what you do (Example: Community vs. Small groups)
