The Impact of Core Values on Church Culture
Core values are essential for guiding the behavior and expectations within a church community. However, many churches struggle to ensure their stated core values translate into actual behaviors that shape culture. While some churches create beautifully worded lists of values, these often do not lead to meaningful cultural change if they remain merely aspirational. Defining core values effectively involves understanding what these values truly represent and how they can practically influence the church's culture.
