Core Values

Our relationships will demonstrate steadfast commitment to Jesus Christ and His Word through Integrity, Serving, Teamwork and Excellence.

Integrity

We will demonstrate Christ-like wholeness, privately and publicly. (Proverbs 11:3)

Serving

We will model Jesus’ example of serving. (John 13:1-17)

Teamwork

We will express our unity in Christ in all our relationships. (Philippians 2:1-4)

Excellence

We will honor and glorify God in all we do. (Colossians 3:23-24)

Standards

Every individual, family, team and organization has a unique culture. That culture is the environment made up of expectations, agreements, feelings and actions. A healthy culture ensures that each one of us fulfills our God-given potential and makes a significant contribution to the team; a toxic culture guarantees the opposite. The West Division Standard is made up of the Beliefs and Behaviors that we agree to and live out, forming a full embodiment of our values. Our responsibility is to protect and promote our culture because we will “win in the locker room before we win on the field.” The following 11 items create a championship culture that unites us in pursuit of our mission and vision.
