1. God's Glory
Our ultimate goal is to glorify God (1 Cor 6:20, 10:31; 2 Cor 4:15) and be led by the Spirit (Matt 4:1; Acts 20:22; Rom 8:14; 1 Cor 2:13; Gal 5:16, 25; Phil 3:3; Acts 15:28) in all we do, wherever he leads.
We do not want to be driven by cultural values or programs but by the Holy Spirit. We believe that God is most glorified when we focus all we do on the living Christ and the Gospel of Christ found in the Scriptures (Matt 4:23; Rom 1:9, 16; 16:25; 1 Cor 9:16; 2 Cor 4:4-6; Phil 1:27; 1 Thess 1:5).
We believe God is glorified and desires to work through the prayer of his people.
