Core Values

A Dedication to God and His Word

Everything we do in life or ministry must be based upon the truths and principles of the Word of God. It is the ultimate standard.

A Dedication to Integrity

We endeavor to develop Christian character and display Christ-like attitude and behavior in our ministries, businesses and personal lives.

A Dedication to Biblical Worldview

We recognize that we are representatives of God and carry His presence and power into every arena of life.

A Dedication to Personal Destiny

God has a purpose and destiny for each individual. Helping others fulfill destiny is part of our calling as ministers and leaders.

A Dedication to Covenant Relationships and Alignments

We develop and commit to authentic relationships and alignments that help contribute to reaching our life purpose and destiny.

A Dedication to Worship and Intercession

A strong personal relationship with the Lord is vital for success in personal life, business and ministry. We move from this place into dimensions of releasing the power of God to overcome the enemy.

A Dedication to Advancing the Kingdom of God on Earth

A personal commitment to prepare people for the fulfillment of the Great Commission and the transformational mandate.

Statement of Faith

The Scriptures

We believe the Bible is the inspired and only infallible authoritative written Word of God. 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:21; 1 Thessalonians 2:13

One True God

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in Three Persons, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Exodus 3:14; Matthew 28:19; Luke 3:22

The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ

We believe the Lord Jesus Christ is the eternal Son of God and as such shares in the divinity and deity of God. Matthew 1:23; John 5:22-23; Hebrews 1:1-13

The Salvation of Man

We believe Man’s only hope of redemption and salvation from the power of sin is through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus. Romans 10:9-10; John 3:16

The Church and Its Mission

We believe that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is a local expression of a body of believers who are under recognized, delegated authorities; who assemble to worship, carry forth the Great Commission, and minister as the Holy Spirit leads. Ephesians 1:22,23; Acts 1:18; 1 Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 4:11-16

The Ordinances of the Church

We believe in Baptism by immersion in water and it shall be administered to all who have repented of their sins and who have believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. This is a declaration to the world that they identify with Christ in His death and resurrection. Matthew 28:19; A cts 10:47,48; Romans 6:4

We believe in the Lord’s Supper, and it shall be observed regularly by all believers as commanded by the Scriptures. Luke 22:19,20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, Who proceeded from the Father and the Son and Who is co-equal with the Father and the Son, does apply to us the redemption Christ purchased for us. The Spirit working conviction of sin, righteousness and judgement, and revealing the person and work of Jesus Christ, is the Agent of regeneration, sanctification and preservation. Acts 2:4; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31, Acts 10:44-46; 11:14,15

The Second Coming of Christ

We believe that the Triune God has reigned sovereignly as king of all creation throughout all time and that Jesus is the present King of kings and Lord of lords. We affirm that God’s active reign through Christ will increase until it is consummated at the actual, physical and bodily second coming Christ. Hebrews 9:28; Revelation 1:7

The Resurrection of the Dead

We believe in the resurrection of the dead, the eternal redemption of the saved and the eternal punishment of the lost. Matthew 25:46; Mark 9:43-48; Revelation 19:20; 20:11-15; 21:8

How can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
Romans 10:15 (NIV)
