What Anchors Us: Values of COA

In 2023, our church leadership spent many session meetings in intentional conversation asking “What really matters to us?” “What makes COA special?” “Who do we want to be and how do we want to be together in these times?”

We also conducted listening sessions with over 75 people in the COA community with different affinity groups such as those who primarily attend online, our Church Deacons, our longtime members in Adult Sunday School, and members new to COA in the last five years.

From these conversations and much prayer, our church discerned five clear values that guide who we are and who we aim to be. COA is….

  1. Gathering as eclectic, imperfect people

  2. Building a unique culture together

  3. Trusting one another to value the COA community

  4. Listening to understand

  5. Embracing everyone’s unique journey of faith

For more details on what each of these mean, you can watch the videos below from real members of our community and you can also read more details in the pastor’s report here at this link

We would love to hear what you think! Please contact Pastor Jessie or any members of the current session with questions, concerns or ideas!
