What We Believe
Core Values:
- PEOPLE:
People Are More Important than the Project - PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS:
People Don’t Care How Much You Know, Until They Know How Much You Care
“But while knowledge makes us feel important, it is love that strengthens the church. Anyone who claims to know all the answers doesn't really know very much. But the person who loves God is the one whom God recognizes.”
1 Cor. 8:1-3 (NLT) - SERVANT LEADERSHIP:
Model the Message
“But Jesus called them together and said…”Anyone wanting to be a leader among you must be your servant. And if you want to be right at the top, you must serve…" Matt 20:25-26 (TLB)
- GENEROSITY:
We Live To Give and We Love To Give
“And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
Acts 20:35 (NKJV) - DISCIPLESHIP:
There Is No Success Without A Successor
“Therefore go and make disciples in all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and then teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you; and be sure of this - that I am with you always, even to the end of the world.” Matt 28:19-20 (TLB)
- PERSONAL EXCELLENCE:
Excellence Inspires Others and Glorifies God
“Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the governors and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king gave thought to setting him over the whole realm.” Daniel 6:3 (NKJV)
“Now as you abound and excel and are at the front in everything — in faith, in expressing yourselves, in knowledge, in all zeal, and in your love for us abound and excel in this gracious work giving also.”
2 Cor 8:7 (AMP) - TEAMWORK:
When the Team Works the Dream Works
The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.”
Gen 11:6 (NIV) - SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINES:
A Personal Devotion To Christ Produces A Powerful Spiritual Life
“When the council saw the boldness of Peter and John and could see that they were obviously uneducated non-professionals, they were amazed and realized what being with Jesus had done for them!” Acts 4:13-14 (TLB)
- UNCONDITIONAL LOVE:
You Don’t Have To Be Perfect, Just Willing To Be Perfected
“Jesus Christ made a single sacrifice for sins, and that was it! It was a perfect sacrifice by a Perfect Person to perfect some very imperfect people. He did everything that needed to be done for everyone who takes part in the purifying process.” Heb 10:12-14 (MSG)
- SOUL WINNING:
The Heartbeat Of Heaven Longs To Rescue Unsaved People
"Suppose one of you had a hundred sheep and lost one. Wouldn't you leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the lost one until you found it? When found, you can be sure you would put it across your shoulders, rejoicing, and when you got home call in your friends and neighbors, saying, 'Celebrate with me! I've found my lost sheep!' Count on it — there's more joy in heaven over one sinner's rescued life than over ninety-nine good people in no need of rescue.” Luke 15:4-7 (MSG)
