Values
1. As Christians – committed to the whole biblical truth interpreted by the Holy Spirit, dependent on God, and people of prayer (Joshua 1: 8, Jer. 23: 29,1 Pet. 1: 24-25).
2. As a Trans-denominational Ministry – Set our affections on things above and we live to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ, walking as He walked, for as He is so are we in this world, we are mission-focused, church-centered, and concerned about human needs (Matt. 28: 18-29,Rom 8: 29, Col 3: 1-4, 11 John 2: 6, Eph. 4: 11-16).
3. As a Mission Organization – a Christ like family, a sharing community, international, and trans-denominational (Eph. 3: 15, Rev. 7: 9-10, 14: 1-7).
4. Service – We are created to serve and minister to others resulting in lives that are changed forever. (Matt. 20:28).
5. God’s Love to us – God is eternally in love with us and is committed to our growth and development. (John 16:27, Jer.31:3, Deut.7:6-8).
6. Excellence – We are committed to a life and ministry of absolute excellence. (Daniel 6:3, Philippians 1:10).
7. Giving – Our life is to give, not to take. (2 Cor. 8:3-5, Matt.20:28).
8. Power of Godliness – Our character will determine our destiny. (2 Peter 1:1, Romans1:1).
9. Meekness and Lowliness – Staying teachable makes us able to teach. (Prov. 4:1-2, 5-9 & 9:9).
10. Relationship with other believers – We are committed to covenant relationships (1 Sam.18:1-5, 20:23). The way we treat others is the truest barometer of our relationship with God. (1 John 4:20).
11. Our survival and dependency – We have been living by faith and since we go from faith to faith we have stepped up to live by the faith of the Son of God and the complete integrity of God’s Word (2 Corinthians 5:7, Hebrews 11:6, 6:19). By faith we’re dependent on God for the provision of all our needs. We also recognize that God has givenus the responsibility to work with diligence, integrity, and accountability in cultivating and using the resources he has given us (Rom 12: 7, 11 Cor. 8: 21, Ps. 62: 5-8).
12. Our passion – We will pursue our principles until death, the last enemy is destroyed in our lives and satan is bruised under our feet shortly for we shall not all sleep. (Rom 16: 20, 1 Cor 15: 26, 51-56, Heb. 10:35-39).
