These are the core values that undergird our life together at Corydon Presbyterian Church. On our best days, we live these out in real and meaningful ways. On the days we fall short we lean on the last one, seeking to learn from our mistakes and to show one another grace.
Inclusive
We believe every person is beautifully created in the image of God. No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you have a place in the family of God and in this church community. Our welcome is not cautious or conditional – it is sincere, generous, and rooted in love.
Thoughtful
This is a community of thoughtful faith. We read deeply, ask honest questions, and engage Scripture with humility and curiosity. We listen carefully – to God, to one another, and to the world around us – trusting that faith grows when we keep learning.
Brave
We lean into being fully who God created us to be. We don’t hide, perform or soften our convictions for comfort. We name hard things, feel what we need to feel, own our uniqueness and show up for others with integrity and love – especially when it costs us something.
Grace-Filled
Grace is not an idea here, it’s how we live together. You are allowed to make mistakes, to change, to try and fail, and to begin again. This is a community where people are met with compassion, patience, and hope, and where healing happens together over time.
