Our Values
The underpinning values of the Micah Challenge movement are Christian but many of them will be shared by people of other and no faith. We welcome anyone to join us and participate in what we do, knowing that these Christian values are the ones that motivate and drive the movement. Our Values are expressed as a series of commitments
We are...
- Committed to working with the Poor:
- We affirm the worth of each individual, especially those men and women, girls and boys who live in poverty, whatever their gender, ethnicity, race, religion or social status.
- Committed to Justice:
- We recognise that God requires his people to live in a way that reflects his standards of justice, which include speaking and acting with and on behalf of poor men and women, girls and boys.
- The Good News:
- We affirm that the good news of Jesus demonstrates concern for the spiritual, physical, mental, social, economic and emotional well being of people.
- Committed to Jesus:
- We seek to serve Jesus Christ in all we think, we say, we do and we are.
- Committed to the Bible:
- The Bible, God’s word, is foundational to our relationship with God and all that we do. We seek to be obedient to biblical teaching such as is found in the book of Micah and committed to evaluating our work and attitudes in its light.
- Committed to Prayer:
- Prayer underlies everything we do. We are committed to deepening our knowledge of God and his will and to bringing before him the needs of the world.
- Committed to Relationships:
- We are committed to partnership based on good relationships with others, affirming the equal worth of each individual made in God’s image, male and female, showing compassion and integrity in our dealings with others.
- Committed to learning and sharing:
- We are committed to learning from others, sharing with them and making appropriate changes.
- Committed to efficiency, effectiveness and accountability:
- We are accountable to God, to our supporters, partners and to poor men and women, girls and boys. We are committed to being honest and transparent in all we do. We are committed to making what we do consistent with what we say.
