Fervent Prayer

FERVENT

PRAYER

Prayer is an essential part of discipleship. It is the bedrock upon which all other ministry efforts are built. As we pray, God inspires us to be actively engaged in the world. Through prayer, we participate in the Holy Spirit’s transforming power, both for ourselves and for our neighbor.

Compassionate Outreach

COMPASSIONATE

OUTREACH

God is continually reaching out to prepare people’s hearts to receive salvation. Compassionate outreach reveals God’s love for humanity. It is a disciple’s care for non-believers, both local and global, that places a face and hand to God’s grace and love.

Comprehensive Biblical Learning

COMPREHENSIVE

BIBLICAL LEARNING

Learning the Scriptures, through individual and group study, helps disciples to become more like Christ. When we study the Word of God, which is active and living, we uncover who God is, how God loves, and how we are to love others.

Intentional Mentoring and Equipping

INTENTIONAL

MENTORING & EQUIPPING

Mentoring and equipping is a discipleship process that introduces new believers to Jesus and reveals how to follow Him personally and fully. Also, mentoring and equipping others on the journey of discipleship is essential to Christian growth and maturity.

AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIPS

AUTHENTIC

RELATIONSHIPS

The core of our faith and life is to love God and love others. Everyone committed to the Great Commission should be engaged in relationships that honor God and edify the Body of Christ. Loving relationships help us walk the path of holiness as we receive both encouragement and loving correction.
