WE VALUE CHRIST-LIKENESS
We value Christ-likeness. We want to be like the Lord and saviour in all conduct.

We shall convey the love, mercy and power of God through the ministry of the church. Luke 14:16-20; John 20:21; Ephesians 5:2; Colossians 3:12.

WE VALUE MARITAL FIDELITY
We value marital fidelity, where husband and wife can depend on each other to provide spiritual, emotional and intimate needs. Proverbs 5:15-19; 1 Corinthians 7:3-5, Galatians 5:19-20; Hebrews 13:4.
WE VALUE PURPOSEFUL SINGLENESS
We value purposeful singleness where the uniqueness of being single (unmarried) should be used to bless the church. Matthew 19:12; 1 Corinthians 7:32-34.

WE VALUE THE MERCY OF GOD
We value the mercy of God – we shall always recognize in humility that all the goodness we receive from God are as a result of His mercies, even those blessings we may regard as rights because of our relationship with Him as children. We shall therefore seek to extend mercy to one another and to all who come under the ministry of the church. Psalm 52:8; Lamentation 3:22-23; Colossians 3:12; James 5:11. We value giving – we shall always give ourselves first to the cause of the kingdom of God, and we shall encourage members of the church to give out of their material and financial blessings out of a willing and cheerful heart. We recognize that this ability comes from God Almighty out of whom all blessings flow. 1Chronicles 29:12-14; Luke 6:38; 2Corinthians 8:1, 2, 5, 7; 9:6-8.
WE VALUE PERSONAL AND CORPORATE INTEGRITY

We value servant leadership. Our leaders shall serve the members of the church as Christ did selflessly and not for profit or self-glorification. Matthew 10:42; John 13:13-15; Acts 20:18-19. We love unity in the Body of Christ. We agree with the scriptures that all who believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior belong to one body of Christ. We shall seek to maintain unity with all such believers. Psalm 133:1; Romans 12:5; Ephesians 4:3-6, 13.
WE VALUE SIMPLICITY
