About Human Resources
HR Mission & Values
Our Mission
Our mission is to serve the Liberty community with Christ’s love, by cultivating a healthy workplace culture, high-performance teams, and engaged employees who strive to provide exceptional results.
Our Motto
Service-oriented and solution-centered.
Our Core Values
SERVICE
We’re created to serve
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
Galatians 6:10 (NIV)
EXCELLENCE
We strive to go the extra mile doing ordinary things, extraordinarily well
Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
Colossians 3:23 (NLT)
CHARACTER
We are committed to do the right thing, always
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV)
RESPECT
We treat everyone with the same level of dignity and respect
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
Matthew 7:12 (NIV)
