 Vision is not the same as Values, but these values remain vital because they support the vision that we have discovered. The vision sets our aim high and the values help us to live out the vision.
1. We believe that all that matters is doing God’s will.

Jesus said "...For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me." John 6:38 (NIV)

2. We believe that God deserves our best efforts.

And whatever you do or say, let it be as a representative of the Lord Jesus, all the while giving thanks through him to God the Father. Colossians 3:17 (NLT)

3. We believe that relevant, creative biblical teaching changes lives.

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is right. It is God's way of preparing us in every way, fully equipped for every good thing God wants us to do. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT)

4. We believe lost people matter to God therefore they matter to us.

Jesus said "...In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father's will that even one of these little ones should perish." Matthew 18:14 (NLT)

5. We believe that Christ-followers need an intentional spiritual growth plan.

You must crave pure spiritual milk so that you can grow into the fullness of your salvation. Cry out for this nourishment as a baby cries for milk... 1 Peter 2:2 (NLT)

6. We believe that every Christ-follower has a kingdom job to discover and do.

A spiritual gift is given to each of us as a means of helping the entire church. 1 Corinthians 12:7 (NLT)

7. We believe that we are called to minister beyond the church.

Jesus said "...But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Acts 1:8 (NIV)

8. We believe that worship is a lifestyle as well as an event.

For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth. John 4:24 (NLT)

9. We believe that healthy relationships are essential to our life together.

Jesus said, "...So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples." John 13:34-35 (NLT)

10. We believe that ministry involves more than one minister.

Brothers, choose [disciples] from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn … responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word. Acts 6:3-4 (MSG)
