All Saints Naperville strives to be a biblically faithful, sacramental, multiethnic community serving Christ and his kingdom through sharing our faith, contending for justice, and caring for the suffering.
Our Values
We value being biblically faithful because the Scriptures are the basis of our life together (1 Cor 15:3–6; 2 Peter 1:21; 2 Tim 3:16). The Bible informs both what we believe and how we treat each other (1 Cor 13; Gal 5:16–21).
We value being sacramental because the church year, the creeds, the prayers, and the sacraments are tools of discipleship and formation that help us to serve Christ faithfully.
We value Multiethnicity because the gospel of the kingdom unites us across ethnic difference. Our unity testifies to the universal saving power of the gospel. (Rev 7:9–14; Gal. 3:26–29; Gen 12:1–3)
We value Community because being a Christian is hard. We believe that our faith is best lived out in relationships of mutual encouragement (Acts 2:42; Romans 1:11–12).
We value sharing our faith because we want people to experience the joy of a relationship with God (John 3:16; 1 John 1:3–4).
We value contending for justice because God’s kingdom is rooted in justice and righteousness. Our public witness ought to reflect his values (Psalm 99:1–4; Psalm 97:1–2; Luke 4:16–18; James 4:1–4; Isaiah 5:8; Dan 4:27).
We value care for the suffering because we serve a compassionate God who hears the cries of the needy (Ps 82:1–4; Deut. 24:17; Matt 25:31–40).
We do all these things in service to Christ and his kingdom because we believe following him is the path to lasting joy and life with God (John 10:10; 15:11; 4:14).
