We Value:
• The Bible as God's inspired Word and accept its authority
We value the Word of God and accept it as the complete authority in the Church and our personal lives. The Bible is inerrant and
relevant to all issues. It should be the center of church teaching, training, and counseling. Hebrews 4:12 (NIV), 2 Timothy 3:16
(NIV)
• Christ centered homes
and the church is responsible for equipping and supporting parents, young adults, and children under the authority and protection of
and the church is responsible for equipping and supporting parents, young adults, and children under the authority and protection of
the church family through Christ. Deuteronomy 11:19 (NIV), Joshua 24:15 (NIV), Ephesians 5:33-6:4 (NIV)
the church family through Christ. Deuteronomy 11:19 (NIV), Joshua 24:15 (NIV), Ephesians 5:33-6:4 (NIV)
• Evangelism as an act of love and obedience to Jesus Christ
We value sharing the good news of what God had done for us through our Lord Jesus Christ. Sharing the truth of salvation and
our personal testimonies to others, both saved and lost, is one of the greatest ways to love and obey our Lord. Establishing new
believers in the word is part of the sharing process. Evangelism is the overflowing of our abundant life with Christ onto others. It
is done in love by the power of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV), Acts 1:8 (NIV), 2 Timothy 4:2 (NIV)
• Authentic and loving relationships that encourage one another
We value relationships within the church and in the community which serve as the primary means to love and encourage each
other. Relationships are the glue which bonds our hearts in love and can build a bridge of sharing and openness to others. Strong
relationships breed a spirit of accountability and discipleship among individuals and groups. Christ was the ultimate example of using
relationships for demonstrating truth, love, and encouragement. John 13:34-35 (NIV), Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV)
• Prayer as vital to growth and connection to God
We value the power of prayer as the means to connect to God in the act of praise, confession, thanksgiving, and specific requests.
Praying as a family and a congregation builds unity in the body and helps us see what God is doing in our midst. Individual prayer
enables us to come before the Father of the universe, honor is name, and be still in His presence in order to discern His will and
direction in our lives. Praying for the ministry, outreach, and the leadership of the church should take place on a continual basis.
Matthew 6:9 (NIV), Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV), Matthew 21:22 (NIV)
• God given gifts/talents/skills and their use in building the kingdom
We value people and their individual gifts. The gifts given to us by the Father are all used within the church body for the building of
the kingdom here on earth. These gifts are developed through the work of the church ministries and the encouragement and
fostering of fellow believers. The different gifts provide diversity of talents and skills, but are given by the same Spirit to work in
harmony. We should know each other by our God-given gifts, talents, and skills. 1 Corinthians 12 (NIV), 1 Corinthians 14:12
(NIV)
• Stewardship as our testimony that all belongs to God
We value giving. We cannot out-give God. Giving, or stewardship, is taking care of what God has given us and using it to
advance His kingdom. Honoring the Lord with our wealth means giving back the first of all our fruits for meeting the needs of
ministries, benevolence, and missions. Stewardship is not just about money. It is the wise use of our God-given time, talents, and
treasures both individually and corporately. Psalm 24:1 (NIV), Luke 16:10 (NIV), Acts 17:24-25 (NIV), 1 Peter 4:10 (NIV)
