Our Values"
At Resurrected Christian Church:
"Our values are the guiding principles that shape our beliefs, behaviors, and decisions. They are rooted in Scripture and reflected in our actions, as we strive to live out our faith in a way that honors God and inspires others.
1. *Biblical Truth*: We value the authority and relevance of the Bible, seeking to understand and apply its teachings in our lives.
2. *Spiritual Rebirth and New Life in Christ*We value the transformative power of Jesus Christ, who gives us new life and a fresh start.
We believe that through faith in Him, we are born again, and our old selves are made new (2 Corinthians 5:17).
We encourage each other to embrace this new life, leaving behind old patterns and habits, and walking in the freedom and grace of Christ.
3.*Collective Worship, Fellowship and prayer*
We value gathering together as the body of Christ, to worship, praise, and celebrate our Lord (Hebrews 10:25).
We believe that collective worship and fellowship are essential to our spiritual growth and encouragement (Acts 2:42-47).
We strive to create an atmosphere of unity, love, and joy in our gatherings, reflecting the beauty of Christ's church.
We value intimate communication with God, expressing our love and gratitude through prayer and worship.
4. *Compassion and Care*: We value showing God's love and kindness to others, providing support and care for those in need.
5. *Inclusivity and Diversity*: We value the uniqueness of each individual, celebrating our differences and promoting unity in Christ.
6. *Service and Outreach*: We value sharing the Gospel and serving others, both locally and globally, as an expression of our love for Jesus.
7. * Supportive community and discipleship for spiritual growth*: We value personal growth and spiritual development, encouraging each other to become more like Christ.
We value a supportive community that fosters spiritual growth, encouragement, and accountability (Proverbs 27:17).
We believe that we are better together, and that iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17).
We strive to create a safe and nurturing environment where everyone can grow in their faith, ask questions, and find support on their spiritual journey.
We value meaningful relationships and connections within the church family, fostering a sense of belonging and support.
8. *Authenticity and Integrity*: We value honesty, transparency, and accountability, striving to live with integrity in all aspects of life.
9. *Heavenly Focus and Orientation*We value an eternal perspective, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author, and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
We believe that our true citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20), and we seek to store up treasures there, not on earth (Matthew 6:20).
We strive to live with a heavenly focus, prioritizing what has eternal value and impact.
10. *Generosity and Stewardship*: We value wise management of resources, giving generously to support God's work and further His kingdom.
11. *Grace and Forgiveness*: We value the transformative power of grace and forgiveness, extending mercy and understanding to ourselves and others.
At Resurrected Christian Church, we believe that living out these values will enable us to fulfill our mission and build a strong foundation for our faith community."
These values are the foundation of our community, and we believe they will help us build a strong, vibrant church that honors God and blesses others.
