VALUES THAT SHAPE OUR MISSION
A MISSION-DRIVEN COMMUNITY
The Evangeline Booth College exists to prepare Salvation Army officers who will faithfully serve Christ and communities around the world. Our shared values shape how we work together, how we care for others, and how we live out our mission each day.
“To Preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Meet Human Needs in His Name Without Discrimination”
These values guide the culture of the college and the spirit in which we serve.
TO WORK WITH PASSION
Having excitement and anticipation about what we do, always linking my work to our mission, and seeking to support and encourage my co-workers and clients. Because I believe in the mission, I look for opportunities to go the extra mile to serve others, doing my best, and displaying an integrity that is consistent with an organization whose mission begins with “To preach the gospel of Jesus Christ”.
TO WORK WITH COMPASSION
Showing a love of neighbor and seeing the face and grace of Christ at work in my teammates and clients which flows from Matthew 25:36 – 40: “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me. Then the righteous will answer him and say, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and visit you?” And the king will say to them in reply, “I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.”
TO WORK WITH AN UPLIFTING SPIRIT
Through my example, my integrity, my positivity – I focus on others and their potential, and I encourage others to remain strong and steadfast in staying true to our mission. Love of God and love of neighbor is core to what I do. I give HOPE to others!
TO WORK WITH BRAVERY
Not the absence of fear but acting in spite of fear! Taking a stand for doing the right thing, living a life of dignity and respect for others, even if they are different than me. I am a good steward with how I spend my time. I am productive in my job and do my best to support the mission of the Salvation Army and Evangeline Booth College. My behavior is consistent with our Christ-centered mission.
TO WORK WITH BRAVERY
Trust means striving to have each other’s best interests at heart. Trust frees me to apply my God-given talents for the benefit of others without fear or reservation. Trust means calling out and striving to change behavior which does not support a mission-driven, trust-filled environment. I will strive for the ideal in Philippians 4:8 – “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
