This statement reflects the core values of The Master's Church. Though not perfectly attained in our ministry, we hope these values will define us and shape us to be a church that consistently brings honor to God.

Paramount Concern for God's Glory-

Our highest priority in ministry is God's glory. We want everything we do to honor Him and to reflect His character and His power to the world. Therefore, we will measure everything we do with the Scriptures and strive to maintain a high standard of excellence in all of our ministries and activities. Our highest ambition is to please God (I Corinthians 10:31; 2 Corinthians 5:9; Ephesians 3:21; Colossians 3:23-24).

Expository Bible Teaching and Preaching- 

We believe in the absolute sufficiency of God's Word to make people wise unto salvation and to equip them for every good work. Therefore, we are uncompromisingly committed to sound expository (verse by verse) Bible teaching and preaching as our primary means of promoting Christ-like maturity (Psalm 1:1-3, 19:7-11; Isaiah 55:8-11; Matthew 4:4; Acts 20:32; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; 4:1-2).

Authentic Worship-

Since we cannot begin to calculate His worth, His preciousness, or the measure of His grace and surpassing goodness toward us, worshipping our Lord is at the center of all that we do. It is our constant aim to exalt Jesus Christ in our music, in our preaching, and in our conversations (Colossians 3:16-17; Hebrews 13:15).

Personal Holiness-

Since Jesus died to make us holy, we will emphasize the importance of holy living and we will show the proper concern when anyone in our fellowship who claims to be a Christian drifts into sin. We will humbly and lovingly follow Biblical principles to restore them to a right relationship with God and to protect the unity and testimony of our church (Matthew 18:15-17; Romans 12:1-2; 2 Corinthians 7:1; Galatians 6:1; 1 Timothy 5:19-21; Ephesians 5:25-27; Titus 3:10-11; I Peter 1:14-16).

Godly Leadership- 

Christ is the Head of our Church and He mediates His rule in our church through men who are Biblically qualified elders (Ephesians 1:22; 4:15; 1 Thessalonians 5:12-14; Hebrews 13:7, 17).

Active Members Using Their Spiritual Gifts-

Believing that God has uniquely gifted every Christian for active participation in the ministry of the church, we encourage our pastors and teachers to help others to discover their spiritual gifts and to equip them for works of service (I Corinthians 12:4-7; Ephesians 4:11-16).

Genuine Fellowship Fostered in Small Groups-

We want to be a church of small groups where we model Biblical fellowship- caring for one another, meeting one another's needs, and considering how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds (Acts 2:42-47; Hebrews 10:24).

Sincere Love and Concern for Unbelievers-

We will use every available Christ-honoring means to reach the people in our community with the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ. We will work to ensure that our ministries are culturally relevant. We will train our church members to  give a confident account of the hope within them.  Furthermore, we will work regularly to plant new churches and give generously to support domestic and international missionary efforts (Matthew 28:19-20; 1 Peter 3:15).

Devotion to the Family-

We will do all that we can to strengthen marriages and families and to protect them from the destructive pressures of our culture (Philippians 2:15; 2 Timothy 1:5).

Earnest Intercession-

Believing that our Father desires to answer the prayers of His children, we encourage both our members and our leaders to intercede on behalf of this ministry and to rely upon prayer in the conception, planning and execution of its ministries (Matthew 7:7-11; 1 Thessalonians 5:17).

Expansive Dreams for God's Glory-

Since God is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, we should never stop dreaming great dreams and making bold plans to reflect His glory to the world (Psalm 19:1; John 14:12; Ephesians 3:20; 1 Peter 2:9).

 

 
Psalm 37:3-6

Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord; and He will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He will do it. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light and your judgment as the noonday.  (NASB)


Ephesians 3:14-21

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.  (NASB)
