Our Core Values
At the East Canton Church of God, we have a list of core values that define who we are as a church and how we are called to serve Christ's Kingdom.
We unite different generations through experiences, fellowship, and mentoring. We value all generations by providing an environment of spiritual growth and discipleship for all stages of life. (Psalm 145:4, Deuteronomy 4:9)
We treasure our youth and children by providing resources, mentorship, service, and encouragement for leadership to use their spiritual gifts. (Deuteronomy 6:6-7, 3 John 4)
All worship, sermons, teaching, events and fellowship are founded in Scripture, encouraging members to increase their Biblical literacy and spiritual growth. (2 Timothy 2:15, Psalm 86:11)
We serve Northeast Ohio and the world as God calls. (Acts 1:8, 2 Corinthians 4:5)
We show hospitality by welcoming and including all of God's image bearers without compromising Biblical truth. (Romans 12:13)
We value communication by listening and understanding before responding. Communication is two-way; messages are timely and clear, and actively received. (Matthew 22:37-40, James 1:19, Proverbs 18:13)
We live out our faith, seeking to serve in Jesus' Name to grow in our faith, demonstrating the fruit that the Holy Spirit produces through us. Each of us have a ministry within the mission of the church to live out as a part of the Body of Christ. (Galatians 5:22-23, 1John 4:19,
1 Corinthians 12:12-31)
We are a praying church. (1 Chronicles 16:11, Romans 12:12, Colossians 4:2, Ephesians 6:18)
