presence of God
We believe that church is the House of the Lord, where He is the focal point of everything that we do. He is to be worshipped and ministered in His church. In order to effectively minister to the community around us, we need to first learn to minister unto God . The core of church gatherings is to worship and minister unto God, to experience and to be in His presence. This is the very starting place for all other ministries.
Scripture reference:
Exodus 33:11 // 1 Sam 3:1 // Acts 13:2
Freedom
We value and believe in the freedom of the Spirit in a local church. God is God, and we let Him move as He wants, even if He does things that we don’t understand at that very moment. As we give room to Holy Spirit, with time we will also see fruit by His work.
● We believe in the freedom to be who we have been created to be. God created us all different, it is God’s design. As such, each person will be honoured, valued, and celebrated.
Scripture reference:
1Th 5:16-21, Gal 5:1
honour
God is a God of government and honour, we believe as followers of Christ, we are called to show honour and value to: Our authorities (governmental leaders, city leaders, officials),The leaders of the church,
Our parents, elderly. We believe that, as the bible teaches, church leaders, and ministers in the word are to receive double honour.
Maintaining a culture of honour is a key element to seeing God move among us, dishonouring what God honours creates a culture of unbelief. (Matt 13:55-58). We believe that church is to have an atmosphere of honour, where everyone is treated with honour just as they are, nevertheless not avoiding conflicts but speaking truth in love.
Scripture reference:
Matt 13:55-58, 1 Tim 5:17, Romans 13:1
