our core value

Foundations of Our Faith and Community Life

Faith is a core value because it serves as the foundation for personal belief, community building, and spiritual growth.

The church demonstrates love in various ways, both through its teachings and its actions. Rooted in the Christian principle of love as taught by Jesus Christ, the church seeks to reflect this love in practical, spiritual, and relational dimensions.

Community is fostered within the church through intentional efforts to build relationships, create a sense of belonging, and support one another spiritually, emotionally, and practically. The church plays a vital role in bringing people together around shared faith and values.

Spiritual growth is of great importance because it directly impacts an individual’s relationship with God, personal development, moral compass, and ability to live a fulfilling and purposeful life.

The values of spiritual growth, love, faith, service, and community directly shape church activities, guiding both the mission of the church and the way it engages with its members and the broader world.
