A Heart for the City and A Vision for the World
Service Times:

Values:
Family - Heaven is a family. God is a father. We value the family unit and the family of God, and aspire to bring Heaven's relational government to the earth and make it manifest by our love one to another.
Joy and Hope - We see joy and hope as a strong value in our lives and in the Kingdom. When you have an eternal God, you can't help but live a life full of joy and peace, and hope. God is the God of Hope, and he loves to fill us with all joy and peace in believing Him (Romans 15:13)
Goodness of God - God is good. Always and all the time. Everything He does is good. It is His nature and who He is, He can do nothing apart from it being good. As we focus on His character, His goodness, we will be profoundly and positively impacted in our hearts, minds, lives and ministries.
Honor - We value honoring others, their worth as individuals and sons & daughters of God. We release life by recognizing the Glory that God has placed on each other, as we each are individual expressions of who He is.
Risk and Faith - We value the reality of the scriptures and the truth that we can stand on them and see God respond. We believe that risk and faith go hand in hand, and that faith is manifested as we take 'risks' or step out in faith as God leads us. Though we may not understand it all immediately, we trust that as we follow His leadership and obey His word we will understand or see the fruit of our faith in the timing of God.
Prophetic - We value the rhema word of God, spoken to us and through us by the Holy Spirit, to others to encourage, exhort, edify and build up. God is a father who loves to speak tenderly and lovingly to His precious children and encourage them. He does so through His Word and His Spirit through His people. We believe that the prophetic lifestyle leads to a life with signs, wonders, miracles, healings, deliverances following, bringing hope and life to believers and the message of Jesus to unbelievers. Valuing the prophetic will ultimately lead to a prophetic culture where we are all actively hearing the Lord, following Him and encouraging each other.
The Presence of God - We value the tangible, life changing presence of God. More than good programs, we want to be touched, changed and encountered by God and His Holy, real, loving and awesome presence. As a church, we function in a way that we honor His presence, knowing that it is our lifeblood. Without His presence and His Glory, we are missing a valueable and lifechanging element in our walk with Christ.
We Believe:
There is only one true God who is the eternal King, Creator and Redeemer of all that is. He is perfectly holy, just, loving and truthful. He has revealed Himself to be eternally self- existent - one being in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
The Bible to be the inspired and only infallible and authoritative Word of God.
Humankind was created in the image of God to know and enjoy Him, yet we willfully rejected the Lordship and glory of God for which we were intended. Because of this, sickness, death and judgment entered the world and now creation experiences the effects and consequences of sin.
The Lord Jesus Christ, the one and only Son of God, was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin, Mary, and is God's Anointed One, empowered by the Holy Spirit to inaugurate God's Kingdom on earth. He was crucified for our sins, died, was buried, resurrected and ascended into heaven, and is now alive today, in the presence of God the Father and in His people. He is "true God" and "true man."
We are saved by God's grace, through faith in the person and work of Jesus Christ. Anyone can be restored to fellowship with God through repenting, believing and receiving Jesus as their Savior and Lord. The Holy Spirit, convicts, regenerates, justifies, and adopts us as we enter the Kingdom of God as His sons and daughters.
In the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live holy and minister super-naturally. The baptism of the Holy Spirit according to Acts 1:4-8 and 2:4 is poured out on believers that they might have power to be witnesses.
The victorious redemptive work of Christ on the cross provides freedom from the power of the enemy - sin, lies, sickness and torment.
The Church consists of all who put their faith in Jesus Christ. He gave His church the ordinances of Baptism and Communion. The Church exists to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing the works of the enemy, preaching and living the good news of God's love, disciple the nations, baptizing and teaching them to love and obey God.
In the ever increasing government of God and in the Blessed Hope, which is the glorious visible return of our Lord Jesus Christ for His overcoming bride - His church. Heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of the saved and the lost, the one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting death.
EMPOWER, EQUIP, DISCIPLE, SEND
As an apostolic ministry, our mission is to raise up believers who are filled with the power of God, equip them to do the work of the ministry, disciple them and send them out to minister in the nations. (Acts 1:8, Ephesians 4:11-13, Matthew 28:18-20.)
