ACOP Values

[Chris]

What I got was that it is that walking in the fullness of the Spirit is an on-going integral part of who they are, not just something that they switch on or off.

The values are all important, but I resonate most with Loving God and Loving People, as they are the greatest commandments. Without love, we have nothing.

Needed the fullness of the holy Spirit to fuel our day and to know God’s voice were some insights from the A-Team that resonated with me. In my personal experience, walking daily with the Holy Spirit has given me so much strength I would not have been able to muster up on my own. I appreciate that ACOP values life with the fullness of the Holy Spirit because there is so much fullness of life, knowledge of God, and giftings that we can experience.

The internal value I resonate with is that relationship trumps geography. I really appreciate the value of people over program or procedure in the ACOP and I feel personally that I have benefitted by ACOP leadership and their willingness to walk with me even from afar. The external core value that I resonate with is justice tempered with mercy. I really appreciate the way this is written. It is not just justice, or just mercy, and it is not even justice and mercy, but rather the value of how these two can go hand in hand as we walk with people and walk out our faith.

Building a culture of honor was something that I found really interesting. This is something that I have found we have been good at, but obviously we can always keep growing! I’ve appreciated the honor shown across generations. That young people honor those who come before and older generations honor those who are coming into their own as they seek to work and learn and become better servants.
