Our Values
CHRISTIAN
We are a Christ-Centered community of faith with all believers in proclaiming the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
HOLINESS
Jesus came to renew God’s image in us, enabling us to become holy people. This renewal begins with conversion, progresses to a definite experience of entire sanctification, and continues throughout our maturing Christian life.
MISSIONAL
As a Christian, holiness people, we embrace the mission of God in the world. Our mission begins in worship, ministers to the world in evangelism and compassion, and encourages believers toward Christian maturity through discipleship. Furthermore, our mission includes the preparation of women and men for Christian service through Christian higher education.
