Anthem House Family Paradigm...
God is always present and at work.
God is not in a hurry
God likes us and wants to be with us
God cares the most
God meets us in reality
The Kingdom looks like family
God wants to transform our hearts, not manage our behavior
Values
Joy - Choose and create everlasting joy
Joy is a deep, inner contentment derived from one’s connection with God and not
circumstances. Anthem works to cultivate joy - not because life is easy, but because God is
good.
“The joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10

Belonging - Help people find belonging
Everyone needs belonging. Anthem desires to be a place where people are welcomed, valued, and known.
“So we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another."Romans 12:5

Family - Cultivate strong families
Anthem works to look like family. In Jesus, we desire to live radically connected and
strengthened through authentic, resilient relationships.
“So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.” Ephesians 2:19

Unity - Pursue unity and a shared purpose
Biblical unity is a common commitment to Jesus despite differences and experiences.
Anthem works to maintain harmony as we share the love of Jesus.
“I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit - just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call - one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” Ephesians 4:1-4, 6

Love -
Because of his great love for us, Jesus endured the cross. Through his sacrifice, we have the chance to find salvation,
the forgiveness of sins, access to God, and the hope of eternal life. The transforming love of Jesus changes us into loving
people. We are literally loved into loving. The most attractive thing about our church will be our people, because of the way we love.
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one
another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” John 13:35
