Compassion Principles:

• AC3 desires to become a public space where a church meets, not a church space that tries to appear public.
• A space for anyone to come and BELONG.
• Not “if you build it they will come” but “we will GO and build it.”
• An “outside the walls endeavor” opportunity to build relationships corporately AND individually.
• Bring the church TO people, not people TO church

Alignment Principles:

• We must re-deploy resources from PROGRAM BASED ministry to RELATIONSHIP BASED ministry.
• AC3 will create the environments and offer training for relational discipleship.
• The individual must create time and bring their hearts.
• This represents a change in CULTURE and must be modeled by AC3 leadership.

Relationship Principles:

• A variety of environments (Containers or “programs”) in which discipling relationships develop and grow.
• Communicate clear, simple NEXT STEPS for every person who intersects with AC3.
• Acknowledge the change in “relational temperature” at different points in the cycle
   

Legacy Principles:

• AC3 must reach to, and embrace the next generation more intentionally
• The next generation are hungry for relationship with “older” believers
  Programmed approaches are generally rejected by the next generation
