Our Values:
To be like Christ:
We believe that we were originally made in the image of God and through Christ we can be restored into the image and likeness of God. As individuals, we accomplish this by daily studying and applying the Word of God, consistent communication with Christ in prayer and worship while living a life of holiness and purpose. And as a church our events and activities will encourage and promote these as a lifestyle
Scripture references: Matt 18:2 -22; Phil 3:3, 10; Galatians 4:19
An Atmosphere of Love:
Church is supposed to be a love-filled environment, a place where people can come safe, loved and respected. We foster love in our midst by promoting the right environment to share and experience the love of Christ.
Scripture references: John 13:34; Romans 13:8; Gal 5:14; 1 Peter 1:22
Reaching Out:
We believe that people who have not come to accept the sacrifice of Calvary are denied the Grace and Peace that is found in a relationship with Christ. We are called as individuals to be a witness to the love and forgiveness that is in Christ. That people may through us be drawn to the light that is Christ and experience for themselves that same Grace and peace
Scripture references: Matt 28:18-20; Matt 18:12 -14; John 15:16; Luke 14:23
We believe in a united church:
Our labor for Christ can be effective when we work together with one vision and one purpose, submitting to God and the leadership of the Church.
Scripture references: Psalm 133; Ephesians 4:3; John 17:21-22
Family:
The Family is the Foundation of our society and the Christian family is the foundation of our Church. We are committed to providing through our programmes and activities an environment that encourages and strengthens the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman. We promote raising godly children through Christian parenting principles where love prevails in the home according to the word of God. We will encourage single adults to engage in purposeful and godly courtship leading to marriage. We believe that marriage is for life and we do not encourage divorce. We encourage all families in our Church to grow and walk in the fear of God.
Scripture references: Matt 19:5-6; Heb 13:4; Proverbs 22:6; 1 Corinthians 7
Transparent and Accountable Stewardship:
We are accountable to God and one another for our conduct. We value all resources (people, time, property, and money) entrusted to our care by God.
Scripture references: Philippians 4:8 Proverbs 10:9; Eph 5:15-16; Matt 24:45-46; 1 Corinthians 4:1
Excellence in Service:
Excellence honors God and inspires people. We will strive to show the excellence of God’s character and handwork in how we run our church. We are committed to God’s standard of excellence in every area of this ministry as we minister according to His Grace.
Scripture Reference: Gen 1:26, 31; Heb. 11:4, Ephesians 4:16; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27
Creative Expressions:
Creativity reflects God’s nature and every one has the creative ability of God within them and a unique purpose to fulfill on earth. As a Church we will provide an environment that motivates and challenges people to develop, nurture and promote these God-given abilities. We must challenge ourselves to think outside the box in our daily lives to achieve our purpose and realize our potential.
Scripture References: Genesis 1:1, 27; Psalm 19:1-3; Exodus 31:3-5
Restoration:
God is a God of second chances. Everyone deserves another chance and we recognize that we are ALL forgiven people. As we clearly teach about the dangers and deceitfulness of sin and a sinful lifestyle we are committed in love and humility to restore people who have backslidden or fallen into sin, leading them back to Christ as they acknowledge their wrongs, confess their faults and amend their ways.
