9. PRESSING TOWARDS THE MARK V I S I O N D A Y 2 0 1 5 Our Core Values The Bible We believe that anointed biblical teaching is the catalyst for transformation in people’s lives. Mission We believe that God has saved us to save others at any cost. Relevance. We believe that the Church should be culturally relevant while remaining doctrinally sound and uncompromising. Transparency (Keeping it real) We believe that manifesting authenticity is a true indicator of spiritual maturity.

10. PRESSING TOWARDS THE MARK V I S I O N D A Y 2 0 1 5 Our Core Values Humility (Servanthood) We believe that a Church should operate as a community of servants with men and women stewarding their spiritual gifts. Relationships We believe that respect for one another (across all divides) and loving relationships should permeate every aspect of church life. Family We believe that family is the bedrock of society and an instrument of God’s grace in a fallen world. Strong family –Strong church - Strong community –Strong nation.

11. PRESSING TOWARDS THE MARK V I S I O N D A Y 2 0 1 5 Our Core Values Excellence We believe that excellence honours God and inspires people. We also believe that the proper management of time is a God honouring value and an absolute essential to the quality of our success. Leadership We believe that the church and each ministry department should be led by people with the spiritual gift of leadership.

12. PRESSING TOWARDS THE MARK V I S I O N D A Y 2 0 1 5 Our Core Values Team work We believe that it takes a team to build a dream and that the anointing on all of us is greater than the anointing on any one of us. Generosity We believe that a scarcity mentality is an insult to God, and that abundance flows to those who generously give to the work of God and who open their hearts and purses to help those in need. Worship We believe that the ultimate goal of the Church is the worship of God. When this age is over and all is said and done we will join countless millions on their faces in worship before the throne. Worship abides forever.
