Core Values – What a guest can expect

O	Open Door Policy: You are welcome just as you are! No church background, special clothes or Bible knowledge required! God know you, cares deeply for you and we welcome anyone who is seeking Him as an honored guest.
P	Privacy Honored: Check us out anonymously as long as you'd like, or dive right into life at Open Arms. You choose how and when you want to connect with our church family. We understand that people may need time as they check out the core beliefs and vision of a new church.
E	Excellence Desired: Doing our best for God is important. None of us is perfect. We just have a desire to give God our best in all that we do as we serve Him. People seek to do something significant with their lives. People are encouraged to discover their passions and serve God with their best.
N	Nurturing Environment: We meet people where they are when it comes to understanding and living the life God reveals to us in the scripture. We patiently teach and show by example the heart of God behind His principles.

A	Authentic Relationships: This is a church for people who are authentic and transparent. A place for real people and families who face life's real challenges. We provide opportunities for supportive and encouraging friendships to begin and grow.
R	Relevance: Life is busy and hectic! The Bible is taught and modeled in relevant and exciting ways to every age and for every season of life. We desire to invest in the spiritual, mental, recreational and social needs of our community.
M	Music Style: The aim of our celebrative and reflective worship style is to exalt God sincerely from our heart with songs that are pleasing to Him. There is a noticeable simplicity to our worship services as we seek to reduce as many barriers as possible between the worshiper & God.
S	Sharing with Others: Nearly 70% of today's Open Arms family never understood how to have a personal relationship with Christ before they got here. We want our whole community to know His love, grace & peace.
