Core Values
We value the local church and the Gospel as the hope of the world.
Matthew 16:18, “And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”
We value the pastoral leadership of the local church as the key to church health and vitality.
I Thessalonians 1:5, “For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.”
We value servanthood as the ultimate expression of leadership in the church.
Luke 22:27, “For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? Is not he that sitteth at meat? But I am among you as he that serveth.”
We value disciple-making as the ultimate mission of the church.
Matthew 28:19, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Ghost:”
We value the power and presence of the Holy Spirit as the sustainer of the church.
Acts 1:8, “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost comes upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”
We value evangelism and missions as the church’s way of changing the world.
Mark 16:15, “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”
Our Mission
Our mission is to assist plateaued or discouraged churches in developing Biblically-based, Spirit -driven approaches to revitalize their New Testament purposes of evangelism, discipleship, proclamation, fellowship, prayer and ministry.
