Values

Lordship of Jesus Christ
Jesus said to him, " 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment." (Matt. 22:37-38)

We value the sovereign lordship of Jesus Christ over the life of each believer and His Church, demonstrated through obedience to Christ's call for salvation, holiness, and compassion for others.

Biblical Worldview
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom..."(Proverbs 1:7)

We value the Word of God as the foundation of learning and integrate biblical principles and values into all aspects of training and education.

Evangelism and Discipleship
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations...teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded..." (Matt. 28:19-20)

We value evangelism and discipleship as the primary mission of the Church, empowering its members to proclaim the whole Gospel of Jesus Christ to the whole world.

 Educational Excellence
"I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save." (1 Cor. 9:22)

We value an excellent education as an integration of biblical, general, and professional studies, developing life-long learners with the information literacy skills, a basic understanding of the natural world, and the ability to communicate with people from diverse cultures. 

Character and Integrity
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control." (Gal. 5:22)

We value Christ-like character as the basis of the true Christian life, leading the disciple to be faithful in stewardship of time, talents, resources, and relationships and accountable to the Body of Christ.

Servant Leadership
"And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' " (Matthew 22:39-40)

We value the example of Jesus Christ, Who was the Servant of all, as the model for all ministerial leadership within the Church.
