our values

INTIMACY | DAILY INTIMACY WITH GOD (MT 7:22-23, Mt 22:37)

We prioritize daily intimacy with Jesus over everything else in life. The greatest commandment and our primary ministry is to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind & strength.

AUTHENTICITY | WELCOME TO THE FAMILY (EPH 1:5, Acts 2:42-47)

God’s Church is not an organization, it’s a family, and we were not designed to do life alone. In God’s family everyone is intimately known, authentically loved, forgiven often, and everyone’s invited!

FREEDOM | WALKING AS JESUS WALKED (GAL 5:1, 1 JOHN 2:6)

Jesus has given us all authority to be free from all powers of darkness. We are committed to the full process of being set free as well as being used by the Holy Spirit to set others free, just as Jesus did.

HEALTH | SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY (3 JOHN 1:2)

We remain healthy by abiding in God, putting family first, practicing Sabbath rest, walking in forgiveness, healthy eating, staying active, being grateful and choosing joy. When we abide in God’s Presence, we stay healthy, full and effective in the Kingdom.

EMPOWERMENT | CELEBRATING THE GREATNESS IN PEOPLE (EPH 2:10)

We celebrate the gifts and dreams God has placed in people’s hearts. Part of our vision is to see people’s vision come to pass. No one was made to just fill a seat so we come alongside people to activate and empower them to go further than they ever could on their own.

THE GREAT COMMISSION | DISCIPLES HAVE NAMES (MT 28:19-20) 

The people God has placed in our sphere are our responsibility to love, pray for, share the gospel with, minister to and equip to make their own disciples. Disciple making is a command from Jesus for every believer and at any point we can name the people we are discipling. No one is too young to make disciples!

CORPORATE GATHERINGS | GATHERING IS ESSENTIAL 

We believe the Church should not give up meeting together under any circumstances. There is a unique outpouring of God’s Spirit when the Church comes together and when we pray and worship together all things come into alignment with heaven.

CITY TRANSFORMATION | THE HARVEST 

We believe the harvest field of Manchester is ready and that revival will come through intercession, worship, and releasing the Kingdom wherever we go. The people of Manchester are our responsibility to preach the gospel to. As souls are saved, and revival takes place, it will result in the future of Manchester being rewritten to look like heaven.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS

PRESENCE CENTERED

We don’t gather to hear a message, sing a song or see a person, we gather to encounter the Presence of God. We are hungry to meet with Him face to face; to hear his voice, experience His love and be transformed into His image & likeness. 

FAITH FILLED ATMOSPHERE

We believe God is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than all we could ever ask, think or imagine! God still heals the sick, raises the dead, breaks chains, restores marriages, provides for those in need, brings prodigals home and saves the lost- and He does it through us. We believe God at His word and that nothing is impossible for God! 

WHOLEHEARTED DEVOTION

Understanding how much Jesus has done for us results in extravagant worship, wholehearted devotion and a sold-out lifestyle. We give God our worship, time, possessions, finances, gifts/talents, our first and our best. We honor God by keeping our word and fulfilling our commitments.

KINGDOM CULTURE

We believe Jesus is the head of His Church and He is building something that is unstoppable. God’s Church is the most powerful group of people on the planet and it’s the answer to every problem. Zeal is only one expression of the body of Christ and our focus is not on Zeal, it’s on Jesus!
