Core Values

Core Values

 

Our core values are gleaned from the great commission of our Master,

 “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:18-20

– Christ Has All Authority: All of Christ for All of Life

Jesus is not just Lord of the Church, He is Lord over all. We believe Christ is Lord over politics, family, education, healthcare, economics and everything in between. The Lord Jesus Christ has spoken into all areas of life and we must come under that authoritative word and call all nations to conform to His decrees. Christ is reigning now at the right hand of the Father. He is putting all His enemies under His feet. Christ is the conquering King now and has all authority, we stand on this truth boldly.

– Make Disciples: Family Integrated –

We believe in family integrated discipleship. Basically, we are committed to all ages worshipping together, from infants to seniors. We are committed to equipping mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers to disciple their children. One of the most important discipleship tools that has been forgotten is the sacred practice of daily family worship. We meet as a church on Sundays, but families must gather for prayer, scripture reading and instruction daily at home. The greatest act of rebellion against the godless culture we live in, is families singing hymns and readings Scripture together. 

– Baptize Them: The Church –

Jesus commanded us to baptize those who believe in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. But what exactly are we baptizing people into? We baptize them into the body of Christ. Baptism is identification with the death and resurrection of Christ, and Christ died to save and gather together His people, the Church. He will build His Church and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it. We are committed to His Church because He died for her.

– Teach Them to Obey Me: Unapologetically Biblical –

We will never apologize for what the Bible says. Where some churches may shy away or not take a stand on pressing cultural issues, we will not! We are committed to being unapologetically biblical and never compromising to the culture. We believe that boldness and love can and must coexist if we are to make Christ known in our world.

– I Am With You Always: Devoted Prayer

We pray because we cannot accomplish anything without Him. He promised to be with us always to accomplish this impossible task. We must lean on His presence and promise. Christ is our everything, we are devoted to Him in prayer.
