To glorify God by helping to build strong, healthy, Christ-centered families that build world-changing, Spirit-filled churches.

To glorify God

The foremost purpose of all created things is to bring glory to God. The church should not do anything that does not glorify God or that serves to take His glory. The church should be actively teaching others how to glorify, worship, and serve God. This will be accomplished through prayer, teaching, discipleship, worship, and service.

By helping

We recognize and acknowledge that we are incapable of accomplishing anything worthwhile apart from God. The church is to serve God by knowing, doing, and teaching God’s will through the power of the Holy Spirit.

To build

The church is comprised of imperfect people that God has gathered together for the purpose of accomplishing His will on the earth. It is the role of the church to equip and direct people to join in Christ’s work to build His church.

Strong

The enemy, the world, and the flesh all steal power from the people of God’s church. It is the role of the church to strengthen the body of Christ through teaching spiritual truths, discipleship in spiritual disciplines, and the exercising of spiritual gifts.

Healthy

Our culture has done much to poison the hearts and minds of people. As a result many of the relationships, that God intends to use for our transformation, of the people of the church are unhealthy and even ungodly. It is the role of the church to help people to restore healthy, godly relationships with everyone in their lives. This will be accomplished through prayer, teaching, discipleship, and fellowship.

Christ-centered

This church gets its name from the premise that Christ is to be the center (Core) of all our life. The church should focus on putting Christ first in everything and make sure that He is the reason for everything we do. The church also serves as one of God’s tools for teaching the body to do this in their lives.

Families

Family is the basic building block societies and churches. As the family goes, so goes the nation and the church. Families today are in trouble. God’s design and plans for the institutions of marriage and family have been relentlessly attacked. The current state of our society is a result of the steady erosion of the family. Only the church is capable, through the Holy Spirit, of restoring families, which will in turn restore this nation.

That build world-changing, Spirit-filled churches

The church has as part of its mandate the goal of seeing the gospel message of Jesus Christ spreading outward. The ultimate evidence of that is the founding of new churches thus multiplying the work of the ministry.
