Our Values are like the the rushing movement and force of a river which propels us forward in this life. We hold a “center-set” mentality, which believes that we are continually growing into our values and that we are not to take our eyes off of the goal. The Acronym C.R.O.S.S. serves to remind us daily to take up our cross and follow Jesus. The river banks for our values are our Assumptions, Beliefs and Convictions. (next page) This creates the boundaries by which this following river is held together, giving it both direction and power.
