Our Core Values

 1. Integrity

  • Pr 10:9 - He who walks with integrity walks securely, But he who perverts his ways will become known.

  • We will be honest and truthful, even when it hurts. We will allow no cracks in our character.

2. Loyalty

  • 2 Chr 19:9 - "And he commanded them, saying, "Thus you shall act in the fear of the Lord, faithfully and with a loyal heart."

  • We will be loyal and faithful to God, His church, our leaders, and to each other. This is a covenant issue.

3. Accountability

  • Acts 15:4 - And when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders; and they reported all things that God had done with them.

  • We will be accountable to leadership and to each other. To thrive in vision, we must be committed to being submitted. Vision requires covering.

  • Accountability builds character and prevents many bad decisions.

4. Excellence

  • Col 3:23-24 - And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

  • We will strive to have an "excellent spirit" (Dan 6:3) in all we do. With the right perspective, excellence brings honor to God.

  • We recognize that both integrity AND skill is needed for effective leadership: "So he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands." (Ps 78:72)

5. Intentional Growth

  • 2 Tim 2:15 - Be diligent ("study", KJV) to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

  • We will decide to grow daily. Growth is a decision. We will strive for continual improvement in all areas.

6. Obedience

  • Jam 1:21-22 - Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

  • We will demonstrate an absolute commitment to Christ and His Word at all times.

  • Being obedient and in the will of God is the definition of success!

Our Vision

We dream of Reaching, Teaching, and Releasing thousands of hurting and discouraged people.  We dream of their families serving, worshipping, and living for Jesus.  We dream of a mentoring and disciple-developing church where God`s most precious resources, His people, are nurtured and taught what it truly means to be a Christian.  We dream of restored marriages and families. We dream of a church that is multi-cultural, and a church where people of all ages feel loved and accepted.  We dream of thousands of transformed lives by the power of Jesus Christ!

How do we Reach, Teach, and Release Hurting People through the Power of Jes us Christ?

 Simply put, Our Vision is about Discipleship!

Below are some distinctives/ministry thrusts we use to execute our vision, and hopefully change a bit of the world in the process!

1. Solid Hermeneutics - the Right Perspective

  • A solid belief that the Bible is God’s Word and a real understanding that His Word is about Him and not us gives us the right worldview.

  • From here, we passionately study Scripture and just as passionately do what it says.

  • Our way of interpreting Scripture puts the focus back on God and what He loves and wants!

  • This is world changing!!!!!

2. Contentment & Integrity- the Right Heart

  • An acceptance that character is more important than success, that "how" is just as important as "what," that who we are on the inside is more important to God than what we have on the outside is critical!

  • We are attempting to release men and women of integrity into the Kingdom…people who are not ashamed to live by God’s Word as it is without manipulation!

  • These kinds of people will give of themselves but stuff isn’t that important! These kinds of people will see their lives as an offering for Christ! These kinds of people will not spend their days in pursuit of pleasures, but will live a "poured-out" life!!!!

  • This is world-changing!!!!!!!!!!!

3. "Jesus is Enough" – the Right Path

  • What else is there? What else can be the message of Christ’s church other than Christ?

  • If we want to change the world, we cannot do it through the power of business, or the power of sports, or the power of marketing, or the power of politics. These things are important to be sure; but disconnect them from the power of Jesus Christ and they lose their Kingdom power!

  • People who understand that this whole thing is about Christ are world-changers!!!!!!!!!!

  • He alone is the source of our salvation, our joy, our peace, or hope, and our ministry. He alone is "the Word" who was with God and is God! And He is coming back to judge!

4. Financial Peace and Debt Freedom – the Right Preparation

  • This is HUGE!!!! I pray you do not think we push so hard here for a BMW or better house.

  • Momentum asks: "What could the people of God do for the Kingdom of God if they were debt free?"

  • How many children could you feed? How many orphanages could you support? How many people could you put through college? How many single parents could you bless?

  • Enough already debt for stuff!!!! Your resources need to be free for the KINGDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • But please understand, there is no certain "point" you have to get to to begin be a blessing. Begin now!

  • Financially strong, Kingdom-minded people are world-changers!!!!!!! They impact the Kingdom with money and glorify God!

5. Marriage and Family and Discipling our Children – the Right Foundation

  • In most situations, good ministry flows from a solid home life.

  • Not only that, but as we’ve discussed many times recently, we are called to raise Godly children. How can we change the world if we can’t change our homes?

  • So we push and push for singles, married’s, and parents to:

  1. Obey God’s word on marriage, single-life and family

  2. Live in purity, pushing worldly and ungodly influences out of our homes

  3. Develop a family covenant

  4. Have family devotions and worship

  5. Catechize the children

  6. Serve together

  • This will change the world! Can you imagine unleashing radically saved children into the Kingdom? I Can!

6. Apologetics and Evangelism – the Right Focus

  • Share the Gospel! Preach the Gospel! Teach the Gospel! No MORE FEAR!

  • Open your home! Be hospitable!! Change the world!

  • Keep seeking to understand the Word and know how to defend it. It IS under assault.

  • We cannot change the world if we hold the most precious news in creation to ourselves.

  • Gospel preachers (YOU!) change the world!

7. Missions, and ministry to widows and orphans – the Right Ministry

  • By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him. (1 John 3:16-19 ESV)

  • Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause. (Isaiah 1:17 ESV)

  • Can you imagine something closer to God’s heart; that reflects the ministry heart of Christ more?
