Our Values

We Believe That...

1 - True Disciples Of Jesus Christ Need A Good Heart, That Chooses To Do The Right Thing

  • A heart after God that genuinely wants to change to become more like Jesus each day.

  • The desire, over the process of a lifetime to repent and turn away from as much of our old sinful, carnal, flesh life as possible. And to line ourselves up with God’s ways more and more.

  • Progressively developing and showing more Godly character and nature as time goes on.

  • Our dream is to become God centered and to bring our lives into divine order in every area of our lives.

  • To always be willing to accept the challenge to continue to grow in our relationship with God.

2 - God Transforms Our Lives Through Holy Spirit Anointed, Biblical Preaching And Teaching

  • Strategic messages that are powerfully imparted into our hearts and not just into our heads.

  • Practical and relevant messages that we can take into the week ahead, to help us in our every day lives.

  • Godly principles that will give us success, freedom and the ability to lead overcoming lives.

The Next Five Values, Complement Our Church Foundation Of Evangelism, Leadership, Worship, Generosity and Acceptance.

3 - Spiritual And Numerical Church Growth Is Important As Jesus Came to Seek And Save The Lost

  • We need to regularly ask God to give us His heart for lost people

  • Accept that reaching the lost, is our God given, No 1 reason for existing as a church.

  • Pray for divine appointments and opportunities to develop genuine friendships with pre-christians.

  • Use friendship evangelism and understand that it is a process, to lead people to Jesus.
     

4 - Leadership Is Influence, So All Christians Are Leaders As We Influence Others Towards Jesus Christ

  • This focuses us to become strong Christians, men, warriors, marriages, families and church leaders.

  • We see that full devotion to Jesus Christ and His cause and setting an example, is normal for every believer.

  • Churches should be led by those with leadership gifts.

  • Churches lead by having a strategic mission, vision, foundations, philosophy and purpose for existing.

  • Churches lead by training, equipping and releasing people into ministry in the church and community.

5 - Christians Worship God In Spirit And In Truth

  • Our worship of God is a reflection of our heart towards Him.

  • We should worship Him, with every part of us, - mind, body, soul and spirit.

  • Fully worshipping God with all of the symbolic expressions of love, trust, surrender and humility we can.

  • When we worship God, our spirit connects to God’s spirit, so it is an instant connection all the time.

6 - God Wants Us To Prosper In Every Area Of Our Lives

  • Physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, financially, economically.

  • Bringing freedom and liberty and wholeness and health to all areas of our lives.

7 - We Need To Love And Accept Everybody Who Walks Through Our Door

  • There is always room for someone new to be welcomed and cared for.

  • Always love and accept the people, but not necessarily their lifestyle or behaviour.

  • Accept and leave it to God, not us, to change people from the inside out, in his time, in his way.

  • Teach people God’s morals, values and ethics, mainly by the example of our own lives as well as with our words at the right time.

  • When people ask, encourage them to live out God’s ways as the true and right way to live their lives.

8 - God's Love Makes Reconciliation A Reality

  • The miracle of Christianity is that people from all cultures and sub-cultures are reconciled through Jesus.

  • Reconciled firstly to God and then to each other.

9 - Being And Doing Our Very Best Honours God

  • Excellence honours God and inspires people.

  • It’s not about perfection, but about giving everything we put our hand to, our best shot.

10 - Church Is A Family/Whanau And We All Need To Work Together As A United Team To Achieve God's Purposes

  • Where there is unity, there the Lord commands His blessing.

  • Consistently watch each others backs by praying against enemy attacks and demonic assignments that come our way. Silence negativity and gossip and slander, by refusing to buy into it and by choosing not to tear each other down.

  • Accomplish effective ministry by building great teams and relationships with those we work with.

  • Serve one another by using our God given gifts and talents to help each other. Build genuine, loving relationships that permeate every aspect of church life.
