Culture is not what we talk about. It’s how we behave.

• Our Code (Core Values): represents the things we live and lead by. Our Code is our true north; fundamental beliefs that drive our behavior. See Our DNA.
• Our G’s (Sustaining Attributes): to sustain over the long haul in the challenging environment that we’re in, you have to have these attributes. Ru Tampa is a “great place to work/serve but not an easy place to work/serve.”
• Our Passion (Aligning Values): are the things you’re passionate about the things we’re passionate about?

Our Commitment: what it means to be “all in”

1. If I’m all in, serving is always an honor and rarely feels like a sacrifice (Mk‬ ‭10‬:‭43‬-‭45).
2. If I'm all in, I chase impact. If not, I seek convenience (Lk 9:62).
3. If I'm all in, I'm rooted here. If not, I'm planning to replant (Ps 1:3).
4. If I’m all in, my personal strengths are leveraged to push our purpose forward (1 Cor 12:4-7).
5. If I’m all in, nothing I do is ‘not my job’. If not, I’m only here to do what I’m here to do (1 Cor 10:31).
6. If I’m all in, the requirement is my starting point. If not, I'm here to do the bare minimum (Matt 5:31).
