Core Values

• We value the Word of God as the never-changing, final authority, and source of life-guidance. The scriptures call us to a faith-filled, obedient, and godly life.
• We value worship as a priority. The passionate worship of God in ‘spirit and truth’ is our primary ministry. We pursue worship with biblically motivated zeal and hunger as we seek His face.
• We value fervent, world changing prayer. We are committed to intercession and strategic prayer that will impact southeastern Indiana, the greater Tri-State area, and the nations.
• We value small groups that meet throughout our region that provide avenues for growth, healing, and strong friendships, We are also committed to the G12 vision of cells that focuses on effective leadership development.
• We value the Spirit of God in His unlimiting extension of the witness and power of Jesus.
• We value the presence of God with His clear distinction of favor and blessing.
• We value the biblical truth that ‘everybody is a minister’ and we strive to equip/release people to be anointed, bold, and effective influence in their world.
• We value God’s love bringing wholeness. A Holy Spirit-fostered climate of God’s love creates the atmosphere which most readily births a living hope as Jesus’ Cross points us to a path of discipleship and a life free of condemnation, at rest in God’s grace.
• We value an intimate, vibrant, growing personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ that is properly coupled with a reverent and awesome fear of God.
• We value faith that changes things. We believe the promises and principles in the Bible are true and we strive to set goals based on these truths that demand bold faith and clear vision.
• We value seeing the darkest regions of the world entered by a new generation of believers that will be equipped with the knowledge of the Word, the power of the Holy Spirit, a burning passion for Jesus, and then sent out to invade the nations and reap the harvest.
• We value the Kingdom of God in His unending increase of His government and peace.
• We value racial harmony in God’s Kingdom. Under God our Creator, ethnic diversity is respected; and under Christ our Redeemer, all humanity is invited to celebrate His Kingdom values together.
