Core Value #3: Generosity
We can't out give God. He is far more generous than we can imagine. In fact, He did not even withhold Jesus from us! It all belongs to God, and we in return desire to be generous with our time, talents, and resources for advancing the Kingdom of God by making a tangible difference in people's lives.
"Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can." -John Wesley
GENEROSITY REFLECTS JESUS
John 3:16
Romans 5:8-9
Matthew 8:1-3
"Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity." -Simone Weil
"You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you." -John Bunyan

Mission of Summit Ridge Community Church: To make disciples who Serve Christ by Serving People.
Matthew 28:16-20
"It's just stunning to watch churches struggle to get mission statements when there it is, the Great Commission, and they should simply do what it says." -Dallas Willard
“If you make disciples, you always get the church. But if you make a church, you rarely get disciples.” -Mike Breen
"Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.” -Dietrich Bon Hoeffer
“The church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness and sanctification center, where flawed people place their faith in Christ, gather to know and love him better, and learn to love others as he designed.” -Paul David Tripp
Matthew 22:36-40
"You cannot obey the Great Commission until you obey the Great Command" -Al McKay
"It is an incredibly difficult task to lead people from self-centered consumerism to being servant-hearted Christians. It is not a task for fainthearted ministers or those who don't like to get their religious robes wrinkled. But it is what the Great Commission is all about" -Rick Warren

Lead Pastor Dr. Dan Acker
“Denial of one's need for others is the most common type of defense against bonding. If people come from a situation, whether growing up or later in life, where good, safe relationships were not available to them, they learn to deny that they even want them. Why want what you can't have? They slowly get rid of their awareness of the need.” -Henry Cloud
SUBMIT and LOVE
Colossians 3:18-19
Colossians 2:14-15
"Marriage is a duel to the death which no man of honor should decline." -G.K. Chesterton
“Submission is not about authority and it is not obedience; it is all about relationships of love and respect.” -Wm. Paul Young
OBEY and RESPECT
Colossians 3:20-21
"Your children will become what you are; so be what you want them to be." -David Blye
"The soul is healed by being with children". -Fyodor Dostoevsky
