Core Values:
#1 - Committed to Biblically-based Teaching (* Study, Teach and Live)
2 Tim 2:15 AMP | Study and do your best to present yourself to God approved, a workman [tested by
trial] who has no reason to be ashamed, accurately handling and skillfully teaching the word of truth.
Titus 2:1 AMP | But as for you, teach the things which are in agreement with sound doctrine [which
produces men and women of good character whose lifestyle identifies them as true Christians]
#2 - Committed to Loving Hospitality (*Through Worship, Membership and Spiritual Growth)
Matthew 11:28 AMP | Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that
provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]
1 Peter 4:9 AMP | Be hospitable to one another without complaint.
Hebrews 13:2 AMP | Do not neglect to extend hospitality to strangers [especially among the family of
believers—being friendly, cordial, and gracious, sharing the comforts of your home and doing your part
generously], for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.
#3 - Committed to Evangelistic Outreach (*Through Evangelism, Missions and Community Outreach)
Matthew 25:40 AMP | I assure you and most solemnly say to you, to the extent that you did it for one
of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it for Me.
Matthew 28:19 & 20 AMP |Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn
of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with
you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even
to the end of the age.
John 13:13 & 14 AMP | You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you are right in doing so, for that is who I am.
So if I, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you ought to wash one another's feet as well.
