Core Values

Page 1 of 4 Our Core Values We talk a lot about our purpose here at Lighthouse: "To be a Christ-centered community active in producing more and better disciples." The purpose tells you why we exist and what we are here to do. Core values are different. They are the guiding principles for how we will accomplish our purpose and mission. You might define them as the guiding principles of our church, the essential and enduring ways in which we approach ministry.    The following then are the constant, passionate, biblical core beliefs that drive the ministry at Lighthouse Christian Center. Christ's Headship We acknowledge that Christ is the head of the church, and we submit ourselves to Him. Our job is to find out what Christ wants us to do and do it, staying in tune with Him at all times.  Ephesians 1:22-23   John 15:1-8 Biblical Teaching We value God's inspired Word as His authoritative book for all believers.  We will preach and teach the Bible and be faithful to its teachings. We believe that anointed teaching is a catalyst for the transformation of people's lives.  2 Timothy 3:16 Worship We value worship that leads people into the presence of God. We desire to create personal and corporate opportunities where God's people can express love to the Lord and respond to His presence. Deut 6:5 Ps 29:2 Rom 12:1-2 John 4:24 Prayer   We value prayer because God desires his people to pray, and He hears and answers prayer. Matt 7:7-11 James 5:13-18    We desire that the ministries of the church will be characterized by a reliance on prayer in their conception, planning and execution. We further desire that Lighthouse be a place where people's needs are met in prayer.  << Start < Prev 1 2 3 4 Next > End >>
