2181 The Christian Church

We Value "Every-Member Ministry":
The Church is a divinely instituted body, given the mission of strategically and effectively pursuing God's
purpose on earth. Each local church is to be a community of believers who are living out kingdom values.
The church is God's primary means of bringing His people to spiritual maturity and equipping them for the
work of ministry. The church is a gathering place for love, support, encouragement, service, worship,
growth, and mission with people who share a common bond in Christ.

We Value Prayer:
We believe that God has called us to be people of prayer. The leadership must embrace and live this value.
We are committed to creating an environment which promotes spiritual growth and deepening intimacy with
God. Prayer builds our faith and character. It reminds us of who God is. It promotes a spirit of faith, humility,
integrity and Christ-like character in all areas of service.

We Value Global Missions:
We desire to bring the blessing of the gospel to all nations. Beginning with the many and diverse cultures
gathered in our city, we seek to embrace and serve every nationality. We highly value people of every
ethnic group and encourage members of our church, as they are equipped, called and supported by us to
reach every ethnos, to go into all the world to proclaim the Good News message of Jesus Christ.
