Vision and core values

Our vision:

1. To be “a house of prayer” for all Nations. Isaiah 56:1-7

2. To make disciples for our Lord Jesus Christ. Matthew 28:19-20

 

Our core values:

• Jesus Christ indwells, empowers and uses His Church, through the Holy Spirit.

• Baptism by immersion in water, baptism in the Holy Spirit and the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit are highly encouraged.

• Church-in-the-home functions as the basic church.

• No other mid-week meeting competes with church-in-the-home.

• Evangelism mainly flows out of churches-in-homes.

• The church grows as the churches-in-homes grow and multiply.
