Core Values
Our mission is accomplished through keeping focus on 12 core values.
1. Worship as Priority
The worship of God is our primary ministry, pursued with biblically motivated zeal and offered in
reverence with humility, childlikeness and joyfulness.
2. God's Word as Authority
The Word of God is our final authority and source of life-guidance, calling us to a faith-filled, obedient,
godly life-style.
3. God's Love Bringing Wholeness
A Holy Spirit-begotten climate of God's love is that atmosphere which most readily begets
living hope, fosters true health and produces practical holiness, as Jesus' Cross points us to a path of discipleship and a life free of
condemnation, at rest in God's grace.
4. Ministry to the Family
The biblically modeled family is God's foundational social and governmental unit and is to be nourished,
served and preserved as such. Fundamental to this value is the sanctity of marriage, biblical sexuality and human life.
5. Racial Harmony in God's Kingdom
Under God our Creator, ethnic diversity is respected; and under Christ our Redeemer, all humanity
is invited to answer the Bible's call to the values and virtues of the Kingdom of God.
6. Unity of Christ's Body
The unity of the Church-Christ's global, many-faceted Body--is to be earnestly sought and unselfishly
served, that this value for which Jesus prayed may find its answer in our attitudes and commitments.
7. Constant Prayer unto Fruitfulness
Steadfast prayer and faithful intercession allow us to enter a partnership with God
Almighty, and they are the foundational means of personal and corporate fruitfulness in life, service and ministry.
8. Spirit-Filled Witness and Service
The ministry of the Church is to be conveyed through the means of maturing believers at
every age level, social status and marital state: baptized in the Holy Spirit for empowered witness and equipped in the Word and His
gifts for faithful service.
9. Vitality of the Spiritual Language
The biblical exercise of Holy Spirit enabled supernatural utterance is vital for
prayer, praise, intercession, and edification and is a desirable and an available resource for every believer.
10. Commitment to Spiritual Warfare
The reality of the invisible realm of spiritual conflict demands biblical confrontation
through prayer and ministry with discernment and love; that the triumph of Calvary is not minimized, but applied by such means.
11. A Spirit of Giving and Stewardship
To live is to give-in tithes, offerings and all life's resources. We steward what we have
been given of time, gifts and finances, seeing these as being from God's hand, yet as ours to obediently distribute.
12. Commitment to Sound Doctrine
We recognize the Holy Bible as the Holy Spirit-inspired and infallible Word of God and is the
Father’s full message of salvation and restoration through repentance and faith in Jesus as Savior and Lord.
