We all know what's required to fall in love.

A pulse.

Falling in love is easy. But staying there? That's something else entirely. With more than 1,500 matchmaker organizations in the United States, finding someone is easier than ever, but staying together seems to get more difficult every day.

So. . . is it possible for two people to fall in love and actually stay there? Absolutely! Find out how in Andy Stanley's 4-part series, "Staying In Love."

See you Sunday at 11 a.m.

In Search of a Conscience



You live according to your conscience. It dictates your thinking about what you ought and ought not to do. Likewise, a family has a corporate conscience. An organization has a conscience. A Fortune 500 company has a conscience. But is there such a thing as a national conscience? If so, what governs the national conscience of the United States of America? Popular standards? Or is there something else?

Most of us want to spend time with our spouse, but most of us don't spend time with our spouse. When we do get time together, a lot of us experience the classic, "What do you want to do? I don't know, what do you want to do?"

Auburn Church presents the Big 6 Great Date Experiment. "The Big 6" refers to the six essentials of a great marriage:

Trust God
Nurture Romance
Hurry Home
Cultivate Communication
Celebrate Differences
Finish Together

For the next 6 months, once a month, Auburn Church is rolling out a different Great Date based around one of these essentials. Each date is complete, yet you get to choose the options. The first Great Date Experiment will happen on Friday, June 19th at 6:30 p.m. Just show up at Auburn Church, receive your date packet and you are on your way.

Core Values

Our vision at Auburn Church is to create a church that unchurched people love to attend. Our mission is to lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. How? By creating irresistible environments that encourage and equip people to pursue three vital relationships: Intimacy with God, community with insiders and influence with outsiders.

But what are the values we hold which form the foundation on which we carry out this vision, mission and strategy? What are the constants for Auburn Church in this ever-changing world? What are our core values? What are the practices we use every day in everything we do?

Our Values
As an organization, we are choosing to value these as we pursue our mission:

Biblical Authority
God has spoken to us through the Bible and we recognize it as the final authority for our lives.

Intimacy with God
God desires an intimate relationship with each of us.

Relevant Environments
Every environment should be designed to effectively connect with its target audience.

Relational Evangelism
God`s message of forgiveness through Christ is most effectively conveyed within the context of personal relationships.

Authentic Community
Accountability, belonging, care and spiritual growth happen best with relationally-connected believers.

Strategic Service
Our spiritual gifts have maximum impact when exercised in support of our strategy.

Intentional Apprenticing
We are responsible to pass along to others the knowledge, skills and opportunities that have been entrusted to us.
