Our Core Values and Guiding Principles
Hopkins County Community Action Network is an organization based on Christian faith, while being sectarian in its relationships. Our core values stem from our Christian faith.
We value PEOPLE
· People matter to God and therefore matter to us
· We will treat all people with dignity and respect
· We will seek to the best of our ability to meet human needs
We value our FAITH
· We recognize God as the creator and sustainer of life
· We recognize that faith fosters an optimistic future and therefore hope
· We recognize that faith is an individual matter and therefore will not force faith issues upon people
We value INTEGRITY
· We promise to be people of integrity,
· To be upstanding in all our relationships,
· To tell the truth and honor our word, and
· To maintain the highest standards of accountability in our finances and other areas as well
We value EXCELLENCE
· We will strive to provide excellence in every service we offer
· We will seek to continually grow in the performance of our tasks
· We recognize the value of lifetime learning and will avail ourselves to such opportunities
We value PARTNERSHIPS
· We recognize the enormity of our assignment and that we cannot accomplish it alone
· We will seek valid partnerships with churches, local, state and federal agencies, individuals and any other interested groups that meet our expectations in order that together we might minister to the needs of people
· When those relationships have been established we will value them and treat each of our partners with the kind of respect that we ourselves desire from those who work with us
