•VALUES & BELIEFS (roots) - universal, unchanging held beliefs & values from which we derive our identity, purpose and function from.
ministries
•There is one God: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
•In the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God: we believe in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, in His constant intercession and in His imminent return;
•In the person and work of the Holy Spirit with His fruit and gifts available in the Church;
•The bible is the word of God – authoritative and everlasting, and the foundation of all Christian doctrine;
•In the existence of an evil spiritual being – the devil;
•In the spiritually lost condition of all people and the essential need for the “new birth” by faith in Jesus Christ;
•In the baptism of the Holy Spirit as a gift available to believers, with the normal evidence of speaking in other tongues;
•In the sacraments of the Lordʼs Supper and baptism by full immersion in water for all believers;
•In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting separation from God;
•The church is the body of Christ, and each member is an active part of a local church, fulfilling the Great Commission.
Beliefs

The Word•BELIEFS & VALUES (roots) - universal, unchanging held beliefs & values from which we derive our identity, purpose and function from.
ministries
•FAITH: This value reminds us that “Fear is not Godʼs plan”. The walk on Earth is one of faith, that seeʼs in a different dimension and acts boldly. 1 John 4:18
•HOPE: This value reminds us that “All things work together and in favour of our King”. Circumstances donʼt rule in our lives. There is a redemptive purpose that does. The future is hopeful, bright, and exciting. Romans 8:28.
•LOVE: This value reminds me that “God loved me first” and never stopped loving me. His love cannot be earned, just received. These first three values remind us not to focus on our lack but on abundance that is available to us and the unlimited resources for us to enjoy and share. 1 John 4:19.
•BLESSING: This value reminds us that God has plans of blessings for us and not calamity. This requires training and conditioning to see Godʼs blessings; so we are to carry an expectation to recognize his goodness in our life and the lives of others. We live in his blessing sowe can be a blessing to others. Jeremiah 29:11.
•HONOUR: This value reminds us to treat others with the highest regard. That all humans are created in the image of God; highly valued and incredibly worthwhile. We are to treat others, as we would like to be treated. 1 Peter 2:9, Matthew 10:41, & John 13:20.
•OVERCOMERS: We are born to rule and lead through the power of the Holy Spirit in this kingdom of love. We are not to think or see ourselves as victims but victors. We have a new identity; new perspective and we can find creative solutions to lifeʼs problems. God is good the Devil is bad. Jesus came to destroy works of darkness with light. Warfare is part of kingdom life. Daniel 7:27 & Romans 8:37.
Values
•MULTI-GENERATIONAL: This value reminds me to think “Legacy”. I know that without a trans-generational interest in the Kingdom of God values are not transferred or established. 2 Timothy 2:2 & Psalms 102:18.
•INTIMACY: This reminds me that we are friends of God and that He is a Father to us. The best protection for us is keeping our walk with God fresh, pure, and open. Intimacy is possible. John 15:14 & 15 & Romans 8:15.
•SERVANTHOOD: This reminds us that the path to greatness is servant hood. That each of us must learn to always carry the heart and posture of a servant. Luke 22:26.
•CONNECT: This value reminds us that our fruitfulness is determined by our connectedness. If I have not committed to have honest, authorized relationships in life, then I will not be fruitful in life. My church family is vital to my destiny and effectiveness in life. John 15:5.

Now these are the gifts Christ gave to the church: the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, and the pastors and teachers. Their
responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ. This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard
