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)
