WHO WE ARE

ALIGN.  EQUIP.  BUILD.  LEAD.

EPHESIANS 4:11-13, LUKE 4:18, ISAIAH 58:12 & MATTHEW 28:18-20

OUR CORE VALUES

LOVE - God IS LOVE, so our foundation as believers in Christ Jesus is rooted and developed in His agape love. It is our desire that we not only know God, but to experience the Father's unconditional love for us each and every day. We are very passionate about our expressions of love throughout our relationships with one another in our homes and church through giving and sharing, such that God's love is tangibly felt through us so that others will be drawn to Christ. Therefore, LOVE is vital to our Christian family experience.

FAMILY- In God's infinite wisdom, He created the world with family as core of His Kingdom. Our biblical-based family values lay the foundation for all relationships, including and beginning with our relationship with our Creator, God the Father as He reconciled us into personal relationship with Him through His Son Jesus Christ. It is essential that we focus on marriage and family in order to remain healthy and vital in advancing God's agenda on earth through meaningful, purposeful and relational family values here on earth.

DOCTRINE - Sound biblical doctrine is key component to growth, stability, and solid understanding of the Truth of God's plans and desires for us to live out our purpose and divine assignments. Sound doctrine therefore becomes our spiritual blueprint for all behaviors, attitudes, world-views and global perspectives in how we live out our mandate to Reach, Teach, Lead, others to their Destiny in Jesus Christ.

EQUIPPING - Ephesians 4 identifies the Church (Body) as needing to be "equipped" and discipled in order to be perfected in the things of God, that will produce oneness in His Church. Jesus left clear instructions and divinely purposed five-fold ministry gifts to carry out the roles to edify the Body of Christ until we all come into the unity of the faith. Equipping is training that not only empowers believers, but ensures purposeful (God-ordained) outcomes and successes that will produce oneness and unity.
