Brentview Church
Brentview’s core values aren’t about meeting a standard—they describe the kind of life that grows when Jesus is at the centre. In this series, we’re exploring these values as markers—shared signs of life that take shape as we press into the way of Jesus. Each week, we’ll reflect on how one value shapes our life together and who we are becoming as a community.

Together we’ll learn what it means to be with him, to become like him, and to live as he lived.
