Who We Are

Our Core Values & Beliefs

​

1. We believe in one God, who is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and the
Savior of all men and women who put their faith in Him alone for
eternal life.
2. We believe that those who receive new life in Christ are called to be
holy in character and conduct, and can only live this way by being
filled with the Lord's Spirit.
3. We believe in the Bible and seek to establish our faith and actions on
its teaching. We believe God wills for people everywhere to know Him
and that the purpose of the Church is to tell the world about Christ
through its worship, witness, and loving deeds.

Core Terms of the Church: They Are the “Soul” of the Church Body:

​

BIBLICAL AUTHORITY: 

The Bible is the highest source of written authority for God's plan for His
people; it reveals how to live out that plan, individually and corporately.
Beliefs, practices, priorities are to be anchored in clear biblical teachings.

​

CHRISTLIKENESS: 

Jesus Christ is the defining feature of God's will for all humankind. In Christ
is found the highest and most practical meaning and clearest example for
holy living or godliness. Christ is both example and strength as Wesleyans

pursue integrity, excellence, faith, hope, and love.

​

DISCIPLE-MAKING: 

Making disciples is a clear mandate from Christ. This requires a strong focus
on evangelism and training in spiritual growth and holy living. Done
effectively, this will produce and promote growth and health in and among

the churches.

​

LOCAL CHURCH CENTERED: 

The denomination exists to serve local congregations. Local churches are the
most fundamental and strategic points of evangelism and discipleship. The
challenge of the denomination is to keep finding the best ways to serve and

strengthen congregations.

​

SERVANT LEADERSHIP: 

Wesleyans respect leadership that is placed over them, while realizing that
the authority and effectiveness of spiritual leadership is not primarily
bestowed, but earned and manifested by a loving and willing heart of
obedience that serves God and mankind gladly. Wesleyans desire to be

leaders in serving.

UNITY IN DIVERSITY:

There is intrinsic value in every person. Unity becomes all the more
important and beautiful in the light of the wide ranges of difference in
personality, culture, race, talents, and perspectives. Loving each other
eliminates devaluation and deprivation of life to one another.
