Our Values (Why we do what we do) (Revision 8/1999)
We are committed to the following core values:
Our commission:
We are committed to honoring and pleasing our
God and our Savior, Jesus Christ
by obeying the two Great commandments and carrying out The Great Commission
(1 Cor 10:31; Phil 1:9-11; Col 1:10; Heb 13:21: 1 Pet 4:11; Matt 22:37-40)
The first commandment is to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and mind . (Matt 22:37-38; Mark 12:28-30)
The second commandment is that we love one another. (Matt 22:39; Mark 12:31,31; 1 John 3:23b)
The Great Commission is " Go therefore ... make disciples ... baptizing ...
teaching to observe all ... I commanded." (matt 28:19-20)
Worship: We are committed to
the praising and worshipping of God together (church, families,...) and as
individual believers. (Exo 3:12; Acts 2:47; Rom 12:1-2; Heb
13:15-16)
Preaching and Teaching: We
are committed to the preaching, teaching, and the applying of God's Word
for the transforming of individual lives, families, church, and the community,
i.e., what the Bible teaches takes precedence over human opinion and church
tradition. (Acts 2:42; Matt 28:19-20; 2 Tim 3:15-17;
Jas 1:22)
Prayer: We are committed to
pray - as individuals, as a family, and as a corporate body.
(Acts 2:42; 1 Thes 5:16; Matt 7:7, 18:19; Jas 5:13-16)
Fellowship: We are committed
to the sharing (partnership) of caring for, and building up of one another
in Christ as a community and in small groups. (Acts
2:42,44; John 13:34-35; Rom 15:2; 1 Cor 12:25-27; Eph 4:15-16)
Ministry: We are committed
to encouraging and training every Christian to utilize their spiritual gifts
and to be engaged in good works. (Eph
4:11-13)
Evangelism: We are committed
to the proclamation of the Good News of Jesus Christ, first to the community
in Orange County, then our nation, finally to the world and making them committed
disciples of Christ.
(Acts 2:47; Matt 28:19-20)
Multi-cultural: We are committed
first to a bilingual ministry of English and Chinese speaking, then to other
ethnic groups. (Acts 2:6; 1:8)
Excellence: We are committed
to the Biblical standard of excellence and effectiveness in our
ministries
(Rom 1:6-8; Col 3:23; 1Thes 4:1; 1 Cor 10:31)
