CORE VALUES
Discipleship
Following Jesus’ command of discipleship
'And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
(Matthew 28:18-20)
Integrity
A life grounded in Biblical principles
'Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.
(Colossians 2:6-7)
Servanthood
Serving God through serving others
'As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. '
(1 Peter 4:10-11)
Communion
Fellowship and community
'and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near. '
(Hebrews 10:24-25)
Impact
Transforming marriages
'And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. '
(Romans 12:1-2)
Prayer
Continuously seeking God’s guidance
'But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. '
(Matthew 6:33)
Love
The unconditional love of God and for others

By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him. '
(1 John 4:7-9)
Empowerment
Equipping couples for their redemptive journey
'Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever.
