The 4 Ways of Being

One of the things that Starbucks does exceptionally well is to translate their vision and values into measureable behavior. As Starbucks partners, we are trained to demonstrate key behaviors that enable us to provide legendary service to our customers thus fulfilling our corporate mission. These key behaviors are known as "ways of being."

Taking a cue from the coffee company that will someday rule the world, we've developed "The 4 Ways of Being" to fulfill our mission at SOULNET.

SOULNET Mission: To establish SOULNET as a growing movement of disciples of Jesus committed to bringing the Kingdom of God within the domains of society. We will do this by practicing the 4 Ways of Being:

1. Be passionate: We are committed to the passionate pursuit of God.
2. Be Gospel-centered: We are committed to applying the Gospel to all of life.
3. Be connected: We are committed to intentional, authentic connections with one another.
4. Be missional: We are committed to the convergence of life, vocation, and gifts to fulfill God’s mission.

These 4 Ways of Being are the core behavioral commitments that we ask everyone in SOULNET to demonstrate. This becomes the common thread that binds us together.
