Ideas That Define Us
Ideas That Define Us:
We have made it our priority to partner with the Holy Spirit in shifting the Church from rules to relationships, and into living in and from His presence as New Creations fully established in the fresh identity of "who we are In Him." We are moving with the Spirit in transitioning Christians and pre-Christians from experiencing spiritual bankruptcy to becoming renewed in His presence. Our values, as followers of Christ equip us to walk in the strength and power that God intended for us. We place the greatest priority on relationships by preaching and teaching the Gospel in all its fullness and brevity, with signs and wonders confirming His Word.
Our values represent our priorities, and our priorities have matured through the stages of a seed to a ripened fruit. Our values represent the reality of our present condition as an Apostolic and Prophetic Ministry.
