Why Servant?

The Core Values we live by are:

  • Ownership - Servant Ownership means that we’ll own our role, but not our work. It’s for everyone. Our purpose is greater than praise, position or pay, but in our contribution to something greater than ourselves, we’re simply faithful stewards of our duty. We give back to the teams, leaders, and communities we serve to keep ourselves aligned with God’s priorities.
  • Sacrifice - We create Kingdom impact with profitability that glorifies God and blesses all involved. We view our hard work as worship. We diligently treat each opportunity faithfully but hold it loosely with an open hand because we know it’s beyond our strength to bring to pass. God is faithful to what he promises.
  • Deep Care - We are life-givers. We care deeply about our impact and wish to strengthen the ecosystem. We don’t believe it’s a zero-sum game and aren’t here to monopolize anything. We are motivated by purpose and potential. We are committed to helping each person become all God created them to be.
