The Way We Do Life
The way that we do life is based on God’s eternal Word. Our goal is to establish a culture of honor based on trust, love, and acceptance. The following is our core values that we live by.
As a nondenominational ministry, we show honor and respect to God’s people from all walks of life regardless of their church affiliation, denomination or ministry.
We have a zero tolerance for gossip and slander. We promote peace and unity and refuse to listen to negative reports about Church leaders, the ministry of our fellow brothers and sisters. We promote love motivated intercession not criticism.
We follow Biblical principles for conflict resolutions according to Mathew 18:15-17. All issues are to be taken to the person you have a conflict with. Our leadership will not listen to or give counsel in this area but will ask them to go directly to the person they have an issue with and them alone.
We honor the anointing and gifts of the Spirit, but ask that you submit to the School’s leadership, policies and guidelines. This ensures divine governmental order that all things may be done, but decently and in order. (1 Cor. 14:40).
We honor all men and women, regardless of race, creed or color. We are made in the image and likeness of our heavenly Father.
Although we honor the anointing, except by invitation and times of activation or as directed by our team leaders, we ask that you do not lay hands on any man ( 1 Ti. 5:22) nor minister in your gifts. Paul tells us to know them that labor among you.
We promote the freedom of worship but ask that you consider your neighbor in a manner that does not distract them or that disrupts the flow of the worship service.
