At New Life Western Branch, we desire to honor God in our relationships with each other by protecting the unity of those relationships and practicing the authentic love of God. We are committed to…
Speaking well of. We will protect and edify each other when we are in public and private, primarily guarding each other from negative speech.
Providing constructive feedback. We will give truthful feedback in a timely and compassionate manner, choosing to praise the person more than to correct the person.
Highly valuing each person. We will count the opinions, questions, and ideas of each other as having merit. We will embrace each person’s uniqueness and his different gifting mix.
Leading by serving. We will lead by serving others in humility and confidence, empowering and encouraging them to grow to their full potential.
Clearly communicating. We will communicate expectations and important information with each other in a timely manner.
Resolving conflict. Resolution is our goal in conflict, yet we will agree to having different opinions and to honoring the relationship over being right. We will also readily admit our faults and ask for forgiveness.
