We are
a part of the Association of Vineyard Churches.
- We
value THE PURSUIT OF GOD. We are hungry to Know God’s
presence, hear His voice and follow hard after Him. Psalm 63:1-3
We
value CHRISTLIKENESS. We desire that through the power
of the Holy Spirit Jesus’ love, mercy, grace, truth, purity, power,
and integrity would shine through all that we are and do. Ephesians
5:2
We value BEING
SPIRIT-LED. We honor Jesus as our Head and the Holy Spirit
as our Counselor and the Administrator of our churches. We seek to be
actively responsive to the Holy Spirit’s daily leading of our
personal lives and ministries and of the local church. Romans 8:14.
We value PRAYER.
We believe that prayer is essential because it is our primary means
of communion with God concerning our personal lives, ministries and
the local church. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.
We
value DISCIPLESHIP. Our intent is to teach all believers
to believe Jesus’ words, obey His commands and do His works. We
aim first to grow as disciples of Christ ourselves and then to make
disciples of others. Matthew 28:18-20.
We value THE KINGDOM OF GOD. We aim to move in the
signs of the present fulfillment of the kingdom, invoking the Spirit’s
powerful presence, ministering through the Spirit’s gifts, and
seeing God heal and work wonders. Mark 1:14,15.
We
value the MERCY OF GOD. We believe that mercy is fundamental
to all that God does in salvation. We, therefore, aim to extend mercy
to one another and to all to whom we minister. Colossians 3:12,13.
We
value INTEGRITY. It is important for us to speak the
truth, deal honestly, and live uprightly. Ephesians 4:15.
We
value SERVANT LEADERSHIP. We believe that Christ has
put significant leadership authority in the hands of the pastor and
associates. We aim to exercise that authority with humility, selflessness,
grace, care for the sheep, and a sincere desire to build up the Body
of Christ. Mark 10:37,44-45.
We
value UNITY. We are convinced that all who belong to
Christ are one in His Body, the Church. We aim to maintain unity by
honoring all who call on Jesus’ name and by seeking reconciliation
with all parts of the Church. John 17:21-23.
We
value REALITY. We aim to walk in the Spirit and see
real supernatural works of God. We aim also to function on the natural
plan based on God’s leading in conjunction with excellent, relational
thinking. James 1:5.
We
value SIMPLICITY. We wish to do nothing for “religious
effect” but rather to operate in natural low-key, non-hype patterns.
We desire to do the ministry of Christ with joy. Philippians 4:4.
We
value being CULTURALLY CURRENT. It is our desire to
speak, act and dress in ways that would not be a hindrance to true worship.
For example, we reflect this value through worship music that is of
a popular style. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23.
