Core Values
1) The Importance of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ is the only human expression of the Creator God and therefore is Lord God.
"Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before God made anything
at all and is supreme over all creation." (Colossians 1:15)
2) The Truth in The Bible
The Bible is the written expression of God's dealings with humankind and contains God's
truth which is relevant to every age and culture.
"All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make
us realise what is wrong with our lives. It straightens us out and teaches us to do what is
right." (II Timothy 3:16)
3) The Uncompromising Message of Jesus Christ
The Gospel (Good News) of Jesus is that His death, His burial and especially His
resurrection validates His claim to be the human expression of the Creator God and the only
means by which any person may have a personal relationship with God.
"Now let me remind you, dear brothers and sisters, of the Good News I preached to you
before. You welcomed it then and still do now, for your faith is built on this wonderful
message. And it is this Good News that saves you if you firmly believe it - unless, of
course, you believed something that was never true in the first place"
I Corinthians 15:1-4)
4) The Real and only Valid Relationship with God
The relationship a person has with God is only through Jesus Christ and is appropriated
by God's Holy Spirit living in that person.
"And now you also have heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when
you believed in Christ, He identified you as His own by giving the Holy Spirit, whom
He promised long ago" (Ephesians 1:13)
5) The Local Church
Any group of believers in Jesus Christ meeting in any location is the corporate
expression of Jesus and the outworking of His love for all people.
"For where two or three gather together because they are mine, I am there among
them" (Matthew 18:20)
"So now I am giving you another commandment: Love each other. Just as I have
loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the
world that you are my disicples." (John 13:34f)
