Values
Connecting with the Unchurched (Local Evangelism & Global Missions)
We value the opportunity to have relationships with unbelievers and to reach out to them with the message of the gospel both in word and in deed. I Thessalonians 1:8
Being an Authentic Community of Believers
We value the texture and feel of a community of authentic believers who can love, care for, support, and encourage one another according to the biblical mandates of the Scripture. It is vital for the community of people to feel safe with one another with their hurts, sorrows and shortcomings as the Great Physician heals the weak. John 13:34-35, Mark 2:17
Empowerment of the Body of Christ (Gifts, Talents & Skills)
We value the training and equipping of the body of Christ in order to do the work of the ministry both for edification and evangelization. We value the universal priesthood of believers who are called to use their spiritual gifts as servants in order to proclaim the excellencies of God. We value the structure and working of a team ministry, which shares together in responsibilities, relationship building, camaraderie, as well as in authority. Philippians 1:1, I Peter 2:9-11, Ephesians 4:11-13
Advancing God’s Kingdom Locally & Globally (Church Planting, Short Term & Career Missions)
We value the opportunity to support financially and be involved physically in the spread of the Gospel to the world in order that people may have the opportunity to hear the message that leads to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We value opportunities to meet and partner with other churches and ministries in order to corporately impact the world for the kingdom of God. Philippians 1:5 Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8
Biblically-Driven for Genuine Transformation
We value the Word of God in such a way that it needs to be taught and modeled clearly in order that Christ and His teachings can be fully grasped and spiritual transformation can be experienced daily. II Timothy 2:15, 3:16-17
A Godly Family Unit & Caring Church Family
We value the building of the family unit as a clear and winsome demonstration that parallels the relationship of Christ with His church. Psalm 127:1, I Corinthians 11:3
Faithful/Perseverance of the Saints
We value faithful servants who execute with excellence and with perseverance from the small things to the big things. Matthew 25:21, I Corinthians 4:2
