28:18-20).
Therefore, we will pursue methods that will facilitate numerical growth without
compromising our integrity or commitment to biblical truth.
 A Commitment to Excellence
We believe that our God is a God excellence who deserves the best we can offer (1 Cor.
3:13).
Therefore, in all our ministries and activities, we will seek to maintain the highest standards
of excellence to the glory of God.
 A Commitment to Relevance
In today’s rapid changing world, we believe that our ministry methods are flexible not our
biblical principles (1 Cor. 9:19-23).

of ministry to remain relevant to our times (1 Chron. 12:31).
