Our Core Values

20 Jul 2011 - 10 am

Jesus summed up our mission when he said we should “love God and love people” – nothing more and nothing less. This statement is so simple, yet so profound, because when you really follow it through you come to realise that it’s not enough to JUST love God; we must love others too.
So, whatever people’s status, background or beliefs, we’ve come to understand that it’s not for us to judge, or to be exclusive with who we love, who we reach or who we work with.
As a group of people and individuals we really do want to make a difference in the world we live in. And we believe that we reflect God’s heart when we take “the gospel” (the good news that God is real, He loves us and wants us to know Him) to the community in practical and relevant ways.

Some of the core principles we follow are

Spiritual
We believe that the worship of God must be undertaken with zeal, passion, reverence and humility. We believe in Holy Spirit inspired preaching of Bible scripture as the means of positive life transformation, both in the individual and the Church. We believe that prayer should permeate every aspect of church and personal life. We believe in the power, presence, gifts and baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Relational
We believe that love and unity in Spirit should permeate every aspect of church life. We believe in building meaningful relationships with all people without distinction.

Excellence
We believe that we should do all things to the best of our ability and we promote life-long learning and development. We believe that excellence honours God and inspires people. We believe that our mission is to communicate the Gospel using the highest-quality contemporary methods, as available.

Generational
We believe that every Christian, from the youngest to the oldest, has a valued place within our community and an important destiny for church ministry. We believe that all Christians should pursue a godly lifestyle through all stages of life.

Character Building
We believe that the church should be culturally relevant whilst promoting the eternal truth of Holy Scripture. We believe that the church should be led by people of good character, with the gift of leadership.

Generous
We believe that Christians are stewards of God’s blessings and should be faithful in the returning of tithes and generous in offerings and life’s resources. We believe that the Church should tithe and give generously to the local community and beyond.
