The Ironwood livestock brand, the broken “I,” symbolizes our brokenness

before the Lord Jesus Christ and our complete dependence upon Him;

thus, to Him goes all the glory for His work at Ironwood.

The Bible is the foundation for all that we do. We must put it into practice by trusting God.

We must communicate a true desire to serve others first.

We must never quit. There is no substitute for “sticking to it.”

We must help build one another. We must help each other grow in teamwork, abilities, and relationship skills.

Loving people is best evidenced through remembering that  “service is our privilege” and then practicing it.

We must endeavor to keep focused on spiritual and eternal values. We do this by remembering Whom we serve and why.

Our aim is to eliminate distractions—all of those things that distract our guests from really hearing the Word of God.

Our ministry team extends well beyond our location.  Therefore, we must establish and maintain a resource network. 

We must use the unique aspects of the situation God has placed us in to the fullest extent. This includes viewing our location, our staff team, and our constituency as gifts from God.

We must use what God has give us today—with a pioneer spirit if necessary, while pressing toward an ever-improving excellence in all that we do.
