No one eats an apple for the seeds, in fact if you don’t eat the apple all the way to its CORE you won’t even know a seed is there. This is true when it comes to churches. Not a lot of people choose a church based on its list of core values. The more likely factors would be the type of music, the Pastor’s personality, stage lights during worship, free coffee! It is not until you become a part of a church family until you really learn what is at a Church’s core. What makes a church the way it is. What factors determine the choices a church makes. Just like apple seeds are found at an apple’s CENTER, our core values are found at our CENTER. It is our foundation. The Life of an apple is in found in its seed! The only way other apples can be made is with an already existing seed. An apple wouldn't be an apple without the seed. A seed is a huge part in reproduction. The same goes for New Life. We really wouldn’t be who we are without our core values. We wouldn’t be able to reproduce (our mission statement) without our core values. Our Core Values are WHO we are, our mission statement is WHY we are, and our strategy is HOW we are going to do it.
