1. We
love people unconditionally
Church
is designed to be a love-filled environment, a place
where people can come in and feel welcomed, loved and
respected. We promote love in our midst by providing the
right environment to share and experience the love of
Christ. Our Cell Group Ministry is where people receive
love, care and share fellowship with one another. It is
also a place to grow spiritually amongst people with
similar life experiences, giving them the opportunity to
extend that same love to others.
Scripture references: John
13:34; Romans 13:8; Gal 5:14; 1 Peter 1:22
2. Lost people matter
to God, therefore they matter to us
We are a chosen and appointed people
responding to the command of Jesus Christ and empowered
by the Holy Spirit to go into the entire world sharing
the forgiveness and love of God. We are called to show
people how to discover and experience the unique nature
of God’s love and forgiveness for themselves.
Scripture references: Matt
28:18-20; Matt 18:12 -14; John 15:16; Luke 14:23
3. We promote Unity in
the Church
Unity is our strength. We desire that
unity be upheld in every facet of our Church. We work
together with one vision and one purpose, submitting to
God and the leadership of the Church.
Scripture references: Psalm
133; Ephesians 4:3; John 17:21-22
4. The way to greatness is
through service
We follow Christ’s path to greatness
by serving one another and our community. Our ministries
provide an avenue for everyone to serve and impact our
community for Christ by their actions and contributions.
We encourage everybody to make themselves available for
service.
Scripture
references: John 13:5-8; Matt 5:13; Matt 23:11; Luke
10:33-37
5. Equipping people for
daily living
Jesus demonstrated the importance of
equipping his followers through training for daily
living and service to God. Likewise, we equip ourselves
through constant training which covers life teachings
and the doctrines of Christ such as Baptism and
Repentance etc. The training we receive empowers us for
daily living.
Scripture references:
Deuteronomy 4:5; Proverbs 4:4-7; John 8:2; Ephesians
4:14
6. Excellence honors
God and inspires people
The excellence of God's character and
handwork is reflected on how we run our church. We
strive to have every aspect of ministry done to the best
of our ability. We are determined to continuously raise
the standard of excellence in our worship and service to
God. As such, we constantly measure, evaluate, and
review our effectiveness in every area of ministry.
We are committed to working together,
using our unique gifts and abilities to accomplish what
God has called us to do.
Scripture Reference: Gen
1:26, 31; Heb. 11:4, Ephesians 4:16; 1 Corinthians
12:12-27
7. Creativity reflects
God’s nature
Every one has the creative ability of
God within them and a unique purpose to fulfill on
earth.
As a Church we provide an environment
that motivates and challenges people to develop, nurture
and promote their God-given abilities.
We challenge ourselves to think “out
of the box” by continually reinventing ideas and
programs so that we can be relevant to our generation.
We ask the ‘Why’, ‘What’, ‘When’ and ‘How’ questions in
whatever we do or promote as we refuse to be satisfied
with the status quo.
Scripture References:
Genesis 1:1, 27; Psalm 19:1-3; Exodus 31:3-5
8. We value fervent prayer
intercessions.
We believe that intercession is the
call of every believer. Therefore, the voice of prayer
is heard as we pray out loud together in our open prayer
service prayer times. This principle of prayer is
believed to be the motto or powerhouse of our church
lives. Individual praying and fasting and prayer for the
whole church is our continual and primary emphasis
9. Value prophetic
ministries.
We believe that prophecy and the
ministry of the prophet are to be fully operational in
the church today. If the church is going to be filled
with vision and under the full direction of Jesus, the
prophetic voice must be heard. We do not accept that
this and other ministries were to be confined to an
apostolic age, but that they are to be fully activated
until the physical return of Christ.
10. We value Gods word.
We believe that the bible is God’s
inspired word, the authoritative and trust worthy rule
of faith and practice for all Christians.
