Values

HUMILITY

We serve like Jesus.

We are firm in our identity, trusting God is working through us. We declare a daring future because we know who our Father is and who He says we are in Him. We lead with humility, because we are saved by His grace. We treasure Jesus with everything we have because He gave everything for us in His extravagant love.

UNITY

We move at the speed of relationships.

Relationships are the economy of heaven, and God’s gift to us on earth. By maintaining the unity of the Spirit, we grow together as a unified force in this city. We can do more together than we can ever do alone to be the solutions to the problems of our city. As we unify all 7 spheres of influence, we spotlight strongholds of our city and cause systemic change together.

AUDACITY

We boldly embrace the opportunity to champion city transformation.

Our Father ignites our hearts to an audacious faith. This strategic, risk-taking faith causes us to pray big prayers asking Him to do immeasurably more through us than we could ask or imagine. We boldly light up the darkness of this city as unashamed children of the Most High. Our Father stands at the ready to see the good works of His children prevail, and we will never give up.

VICTORY

Apart from Jesus, we can do nothing, but through Him, we are more than conquerors.

Jesus, our Savior King has defeated death and sin. In His Resurrection, He invites us to join Him in conquering evil through the sacrifices of love. Jesus is at work to fill every enclave of darkness with His eternal light. He desires to do His greater work through us, and we know that no one else is coming to fulfill this great calling. The victory is won with His Name on our lips and His Spirit in our hearts.

To be most effective, every transformational city network needs an ongoing leadership engine that builds and provides a steady flow of leaders with kingdom values and vision. In my experience, SALLT is the best example in the country of the value of what that leadership engine should be doing.

Statement of Faith

We believe the Word of God is true, in the deity of Jesus Christ, the Triune nature of God, and that God has made Himself known through His Word. We believe that God’s Word reveals His plan for individuals, families, cities and nations. We believe His plan is an expression of His love for all mankind. We believe history indicates that the application of Biblical wisdom in decision-making is an essential element in creating the conditions necessary for lasting success. We believe that those pursuing God’s plan share in a common goal of creating and nurturing communities that value justice, compassion, equality and respect.
