We Reach Up to God in worship and prayer.
We value
What we value
- Authentic worship. We Reach Up to God in authentic biblical worship, both corporately and individually, because He is mighty, and He alone is worthy of all praise. Worship leads believers to encounter God and draws those seeking God into a relationship with Jesus Christ. Whatever the form, we worship for the glory of God and to exalt Jesus Christ. Matthew 22:37; Psalm 29:2; Romans 15:6; Luke 4:8; 1 Corinthians 10:31
- Prayer. We Reach Up in prayer by committing to build a church that is centered on and fueled by prayer. Prayer is powerful and leads to authentic life transformation and a supernatural movement of God. John 14:14; 1 Thessalonians 5:17; James 5:15; Colossians 4:2
- People. We Reach Out and Reach In because God values people. All people need Jesus and all people need to be loved. We seek biblical community and build ministries that convey love, mercy and truth. Micah 6:8; Romans 12:9-16; Colossians 2:2; John 13:35
- Biblical teaching. We value the life transformation that comes from the study of God's word, through individual study, small groups, and corporate worship. Biblical teaching must be rooted in Scripture, with sound theology, and Spirit-led. Matthew 28:20; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12; Deuteronomy 6:4-9
- Evangelism and missions. God has commissioned His followers to tell others locally, nationally, and globally the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We go as witnesses, missionaries, ministers, and church planters until all the world knows of Jesus. Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:18-20; Romans 10:13-15; Isaiah 6:8
