Our Core Values and What We Believe

Our Core Values

1. We value the pursuit of God. We thirst for His presence and to know more of Him through private and public worship, the Word and prayer.
   Psalm 42:1-2, 63:1-3; Matt 5:23; Luke 6:21
2. We value Christlikeness. We want to be like the Lord and savior in all conduct. We want to minister by serving people the way He did with compassion, under the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit. We shall convey the love, mercy and power of God through the ministry of the church.
   Luke 14:16-20; John 20:21; Ephesians 5:2; Colossians 3:12
3. We value godly family life where parents live as examples and cultivate an environment in which the spiritual, emotional and social growth of their children can be fully accomplished.
   Deuteronomy 6:7; Proverbs 22:6; 2 Timothy 3:15
4. We value marital fidelity, where husband and wife can depend on each other to provide spiritual, emotional and intimate needs.
   Proverbs 5:15-19; 1 Corinthians 7:3-5, Galatians 5:19-20; Hebrews 13:4
5. We value purposeful singleness where the uniqueness of being single (unmarried) should be used to bless the church.
   Matthew 19:12c; 1 Corinthians 7:32-34
6. We value the Church of God as the body of Christ. Our desire shall be to seek its good, growth and prosperity.
   Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 3:9-11; 5:25-27; 1 Timothy 3:5
7. We value the individual members of the church and shall seek to treat one another with respect and appropriate courtesy irrespective of gender, social and physical status. We shall seek to help members to grow in the grace and to fully realize their God given potentials.
   John 13:35, Romans 12: 9-10, Galatians 6:10, Thessalonians 3:12, Colossians 3:12-14.
8. We value the mercy of God - we shall always recognize in humility that all the goodness we receive from God is a result of His mercies, even those blessings we may regard as “rights” because of our relationship with Him as children. We shall therefore seek to extend mercy to another and to all who come under the ministry of the church.
   Psalm 52:8; Lamentation 3:22-23; Colossians 3:12; James 5:11
9. We value giving - we shall always give ourselves first to the cause of the kingdom of God, and we shall encourage members of the church to give out of their material and
   financial blessings out of a willing and cheerful heart. We recognize that this ability comes from God Almighty out of whom all blessings flow.
   1 Chronicles 29:12-14; Luke 6:38; 2 Corinthians 8:1,2,5,7; 9:6-8
10. We value personal and corporate integrity and therefore shall deal and conduct our affairs truthfully and honestly such that the gospel of Jesus Christ shall not suffer any reproach because of our conduct.
    2 Corinthians 13:8; Ephesians 4:15, 5:9; 6:14; James 5:12
11. We value the servant leadership. Our leaders shall serve the members of the church as Christ did selflessly and not for profit or self-glorification.
    Matthew 10:42; John 13:13-15; Acts 20:18-19
12. We love unity in the Body of Christ. We agree with the scriptures that all who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior belong to one body of Christ. We shall seek to maintain the unity with all such believers.
    Psalm 133:1; Romans 12:5; Ephesians 4:3-6,13
13. We value simplicity and desire to do nothing in our private and public worship just for “effects” and “showing off”.

    Galatians 5:26; Philippians 2:3; 1 Timothy 4:14; 1 Peter 3:3-4; 1 John 2:15-17

We Believe

In the Divine inspiration of the Bible and as the infallible Word of God.

The Divine Trinity consists of three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

The Deity of Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, teachings, crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, and coming return to this earth in power and glory to rule.

That Man was created in the image of God before whom he walked in innocence, holiness and purity, but by voluntary disobedience and transgression, he fell to the depths of sin. Therefore, the only means of being cleansed from sin is through repentance and faith in the finished work at Calvary.

That Perfection is a spiritual growth for those who have been sanctified and consecrated unto God.

In the Baptism of the Holy Ghost for all believers who are living sanctified lives and that it is evidenced by the speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterances.

That Divine Healing of sickness for all believers is provided through the atonement.

The second coming of Jesus and the Rapture of the church.

That Tribulation will occur between Christ’s second coming for his bride and His return in Judgment.

In the 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ on earth.

The Great White Throne Judgment as the final judgment when all the wicked will stand before God.

The new heaven and new earth will replace the current heaven and earth.

In Eternal heaven and Eternal hell as literal places of final destiny.

In Water baptism by immersion as Jesus commanded.

In Restitution where stolen goods are returned to their rightful owners.

In the Lord’s supper, practiced to remember His death until He returns.
