CORE VALUES
The Church adheres to seven core values:
1. CHRIST IS THE CORNERSTONE
Jesus Christ is the foundation of our Church. We do not lift up any sect or denomination but the name of Jesus Christ alone. The Church provides a place of true worship where Christ is honored and glorified.
Ephesians 2:20-21 says, “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.”
2. UNITY IN DIVERSITY
As a dynamic Church that shows the diversity of members, we are united in a common goal: to preach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to every tribe and every nation.
Revelations 5:9 says, “And they sang a new song, saying, ’Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.’ ”
3. THE HEART FOR MISSIONS
The Church has a heart for both local and global missions to preach the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ in Florida and across the globe to every tribe and every nation through missions.
Matthew 28:18-20 says, “And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’“
4. PRAYING WITHOUT CEASING
The Church believes that prayer is the driving accelerator to carry out the Church mission and obey the will of God for our church, families, and loved ones.
1 Thessalonians 5:17 says, “pray without ceasing”.
5. DISCIPLESHIP IS ABOUT RELATIONSHIP
Jesus tasked us to make disciples of all nations and this requires connecting and building relationships with people. The Church encourages a program of continuous witnessing, soul winning, and discipleship under the direction of the Holy Spirit.
John 8:31-32 says, “So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
6. TRAINING THE NEXT LEADERS
The Church aims to disciple the next leaders who will respond to the task of reaching out to the nations in their generation. The Church serves as an avenue to provide discipleship and leadership training programs for possible outreach as we obey the leadership of the Holy Spirit and His will.
2 Timothy 1-2 says, “You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.”
7. FAMILY DEVOTION
The family is the smallest yet most important unit of society. The Church values families with an emphasis on training kids and preparing them for the future. The Church is also a Church family that provides spiritual fellowship and encouragement to fellow believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Deuteronomy 11:19 says, “You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.”
