OUR VALUES

Our core values define who we are. They are not just what we do, they are part of our DNA.
These are non-negotiable values to live by for our staff, leaders and members.

01

Jesus:
Our Everything

Jesus is our Saviour. Jesus is our Lord. Jesus is our King. Jesus is our message. He takes centre stage. We are Jesus people, not religious people. Methods will come and go, yet He remains the same.

02

People:
Our Priority

Our heart is for ALL people. All people are loved by Jesus. We make no apologies for being specifically focused on reaching those far away from God. We desire to bring the broken home at all costs. We believe that our light is best seen in the night.

03

Presence:
Our Pursuit

All that matters is that He shows up. From our worship to our service we do it with His presence in mind. When God is in the room, all kinds of life change happens.

04

Honour:
Our Culture

We are vocal with our honour, meaning we are not stingy with our words. We are a people who can celebrate who a person is without tripping over who they are not.. We honour and care for those God has placed around us.

05

Family:
Our Function

The kingdom of God is not a business, it is a family of sons and daughters living in relationship with their heavenly Father. The Church is a covenant family.

06

Miracles:
Our Expectation

God is a supernatural God and we are a supernatural people. We will not be defined by what the natural realm tells us. We live in and expect the miraculous in seemingly impossible situations.

07

Discipleship:
Our Mandate

Every believer is called to make disciples. It may look different for everyone, but one thing remains, we want real relationships that create real disciples who then go and make more disciples.
