OUR VALUES
Our Values reflect the character of our church. They are our guide as we build a family that reflects the Kingdom.
OUR VALUES
A Pure Church:
We desire to build The Father’s House that holds personal character over ability, holiness over charisma and spiritual strength over natural strength
(Leviticus 19:1- 2; 1 Pet. 2:9).
A Servant Church:
We desire to build The Father’s House that fully embraces the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ requiring all of His followers, especially leaders, to posture themselves
as servant and to lay their lives down for others so that the people of God can become successful in reaching their God-ordained destiny
(Mark 9:35).
A Word-Based Church:
We desire to build The Father’s House that accurately interprets the Word of God, preaches and teaches the Word of God without compromise and seeks at all
times to align itself with the pattern of living reflected in the Word of God
(1 Thessalonians 1:8; 2 Timothy 3:16-17).
An Evangelistic Church:
We desire to build The Father’s House that takes the commission of Christ seriously in preaching the Gospel and reaching out to those who have not entered into the
Kingdom of God through the new birth experience
(Matthew 28:18-20).
An Authentic Community Church:
We desire to build The Father’s House that is composed of people who have entered into a place of authentic community, deep fellowship and caring relationships that
translates into a caring and compassionate body of believers
(Acts 2:44-47).
A Family Church:
We desire to build The Father’s House that recognizes and celebrates the sanctity of marriage, the value and importance of children and the indispensable contribution that
the natural family has to the fulfillment of God’s purpose in The Father’s House and in society.
A Worshipping Church:
We desire to build The Father’s House that understands its priestly ministry to God in offering to Him the spiritual sacrifices of praise and worship according to the biblical
prescription for worship reflected in the Word of God
(John 4:23-24; Hebrews 13:15).
A Praying Church:
We desire to build The Father’s House that demonstrates its utter dependence on God, its passion to hear His voice and its recognition that God is the head of the local
church by emphasizing an individual and corporate life that is saturated by prayer
(Matthew 21:13; Acts 2:42).
A Prophetic Church:
We desire to build The Father’s House that operates in the gifts of the Spirit as described in the New Testament with a strong desire to see prophetic ministry bringing
edification, exhortation and comfort to the people of God
(Acts 2:17-18; 1 Corinthians 14:1).
A Team Ministry Church:
We desire to build The Father’s House that practices team leadership ministry as reflected in the Godhead, the natural family and the local church consisting of a
plurality of elders with a senior pastor
(Ephesians 4:11; Acts 14:23; Hebrews 13:17).
A Generous Church:
We desire to build The Father’s House that has the generous Spirit of Lord Jesus who said that “it is more blessed to give than to receive” and “Freely you have received,
freely give”
(Proverbs 11:25; Acts 20:35).
A Church of Excellence:
We desire to build The Father’s House that reflects God’s nature to the world which includes the qualities of industry, efficiency, goodness and excellence in every area of
expression taking our responsibility seriously to be the leaders and shapers of society
(Psalm 16:3; Isaiah 12:5).
A Church of Financial Integrity:
We desire to build The Father’s House that is a wise and faithful steward over all of the resources provided from the Lord knowing that we will one day give an account of
our stewardship to the Head of the Church—Jesus Christ
(1 Thessalonians 2:4-5).
A Powerful Church:
We desire to build The Father’s House that is truly baptized with the Holy Spirit and power, that walks in the power of the Kingdom of God and that experiences the
miraculous display of God’s awesome ability in our midst
(Mark 16:15-18; Acts 4:32-33).
A Global Church:
We desire to build The Father’s House that is not only concerned about reaching its city with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but is also interested in reaching the nation, the
continent and the world
(Acts 1:8).
