Our Core Values

Biblical values that shape the culture of a contemporary, Reformed, gospel-focused denomination:

Contemporary Reformed:

We are confessional and contextual. (Eph. 4:3-6; 1 Cor. 11:2; 2 Thess. 2:15; 1 Cor. 9:19-23; Acts 14:8-18; 17:16-31)

Word Based:

We are committed to biblical preaching, teaching, training, equipping (Rom 10:14-17; 2 Timothy 2:1-2; 3:16-17; Deut. 4:9 -14; Colossians 3:16; Eph. 4:11-16)

Gospel Focussed:

We are on mission in word and deed, both locally and globally: kingdom-oriented, outward looking, evangelistic, disciple-making, community- hearted (Micah 6:8; Isaiah 1:17; 61:1-11; Luke 4:18-19; Matt. 5:13-16; 6:33; 25:31-46; 28:18-20; Philippians 1:14; Acts 1:6-8; 4:31; Colossians 4:5-6; 1 Peter 2:9-12; 3:15-16; Rev. 5:9-10)

Local Church Empowering:

We are light on structures and hierarchy, high on support, partnership, mutual accountability and encouragement (Matt. 20:24-28; 25:14-30; Heb. 13:17; 1 Thess. 5:11; 2 Cor. 1:24; 8:23; Phil. 1:5; 4:15; 3 John 1:5-8; 1 Pet 5:3)

Prayerful Urgency:

We are humbly dependent upon God and filled with prayerful, sacrificial compassion for the lost in all the world (Isa. 62:6; Acts 2:42; Matt. 6:5-13; Rom. 10:1; Eph. 6:10-20; 1 Tim. 2:1-4; 1 Thess. 5:17; Jude 20)
