Core Values
Christian Living
- Scripture is our authority and relevant for Christian
Living (2 Tim. 3:10-17).
- Evangelism is a process not a product, man's responsibility
is to present the Gospel, conversion is God's sovereignty (2 Cor 4:3-4;
Eph 2:8-10; 2 Tim. 2:24-25 ).
- God's Word can change lives (Heb 4:12).
- Jesus is our link to fellowship with God and eternal
life (Acts 4:12; John 3:3, 14:6; Rom 10:9-10).
- Prayer, devotions and praise are key elements in the
Christian walk (Ps 68:19, 21:1, 134:2, 143:8; Prov. 16:3; Matt. 6:33).

3:23-24; Heb. 13:16)
