Our Core Values:
Empowering Leadership
Leadership seeking to equip, support, motivate and mentor individuals enabling them to become all that God wants them to be, as opposed to leaders who use individuals as helpers in attaining the leaders goals.
Gift-Oriented Ministry
Ministry based upon the carefully integrated and identified God given gifts of each individual member rather than a leaders predetermined vision requiring the enlistment of volunteers who may or may not fit.
Passionate Spirituality
Spirituality marked by the enthusiastic, joyous celebration of faith in contrast to the performing of one's duty that is often marked by an over zealous emphasis upon 'right doctrine', moral code, membership or defense of orthodoxy.
Functional Structures
Structures that promote the ongoing multiplication of the ministry compared to those that restrict growth and limit avenues of response.
Inspiring Worship
Worship energized by the concrete activity of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the individuals that impacts the way in which worship is conducted and the very atmosphere of a gathering in contrast to the dutiful practice of the elements of worship.
Holistic Small Groups
Groups in which an individual's discipleship becomes practically expressed in the context of real life relationships rather in the rote learning of abstract concepts.
Need-Oriented Evangelism
Evangelism is focused upon the questions and needs of non-Christians and not the programmatic required responses of our learned presentations. We must also acknowledge those gifted in evangelism in contrast to every member's responsibility to be a witness.
Loving Relationships
Relationships marked by unfeigned practical covenant love given within the membership and not the feeling that overwhelms for a moment in time and disappears just as mysteriously.
Our Beliefs:
We believe that Jesus Christ is a risen and living Lord who is extending his Kingdom through the world inviting people to enter into a relationship with him so they can receive eternal life and the power to change through the Holy Spirit which he gives to all who come to him. We are a member of the Candian National Baptist Convention. |
