This church shall always be guided by the following biblical values in its operation and ministry:

A. BRINGING GLORY TO GOD . Since God is great, good, and glorious (Psalm 100), our church will endeavor to regularly engage His living Presence through positive, uplifting, and God-exalting worship.

B. PRAYER . Prayer is non-negotiable. Since God has not just invited but commanded us to pray
(Matt. 7:7), our church will attempt to saturate its ministries with enthusiastic and expectant prayer.

C. RELATIONSHIP. Authentic, loving relationships are essential to a biblically functioning community. Since God is love (I John 4:8), our church will encourage loving behavior and activities among its people and toward its community .

D. LEADERSHIP. The local body shall be led by those with leadership gifts. Since God has given leadership to equip the people for service (Eph. 4:12), our church shall encourage leadership teams to work closely together for balanced leadership and effective ministry.

E. GIFT-ORIENTED MINISTRY. God's servants shall utilize their spiritual gifts. Since God has given Spirit-endowed abilities to every Christian (I Peter 4:10), our church shall assist each believer in the discovery, development, and deployment of his/her ministry capacities.

F. FUNCTIONAL STRUCTURES. God desires us to function as a unified community. Since God has designed the church to be a living body of interdependent and functioning parts (I Cor. 12), our church shall organize itself into co-operative ministry teams for the effective accomplishment of its tasks.

G. SMALL GROUPS. Life change happens best in the context of small groups. Since God's own nature is that of an intimate tri-unity our church shall encourage each person to participate in an appropriate face-to-face and heart-to-heart small group (Matt. 28:20, II Cor. 13:14).

H. EVANGELISM. Lost people matter to God, and therefore, ought to matter to the church. Since God demonstrated in Jesus an essential bond between caring for people's temporal needs and teaching them of the eternal Gospel, our church shall endeavor to express our love for the lost through need-oriented evangelism (Luke 4:38-44).
