VALUES
Lordship
Jesus is “King of kings and Lord of lords,” we believe that whole-hearted submission to God’s will and his Word is the starting point of the Christian faith and the foundation of all spiritual growth. COLOSSIANS 2:6 (ESV) 6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just las you were taught, abounding min thanksgiving.
Family
Because the family is the foundation and validation of ministry, we refuse to sacrifice our marriages and our children on the altars of temporal success. And because we believe God has called us to be a spiritual family, we embrace community, reject the idea of disposable relationships, and choose to walk in love, respect, and unity. PSALM 127:1-3 (ESV) 1 Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. 2 It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. 3 Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.
Love One Another
We value walking together, and walking together is better than walking alone. We are called to share God’s love with all those that we encounter. We recognise that God is the only source of true love. John 13:35 (ESV) By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another John 15:12 (ESV) This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
Leadership
We’re called to establish churches and campus ministries in every nation, we’re committed to a culture of empowering leadership. We’re intentionally multi-generational, and we deliberately create opportunities and platforms to develop the next generation of leaders. 2 TIMOTHY 2:2 (ESV) 2 and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.
Discipleship
We’re called to make disciples, our primary focus is establishing biblical foundations, equipping believers to minister, and empowering disciples to make disciples—not conducting meetings, facilitating programs, or building buildings. MATTHEW 28:19-20 (ESV) 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Evangelism
Because God’s heart is to reach the lost, we’re passionate about preaching the gospel and doing ministry in a way that engages people outside of the Christian faith. We seek to build churches primarily through evangelism, not transfer growth. JOHN 3:16 (ESV) 16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. LUKE 19:10 (ESV) 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”
