Purpose:
To glorify God by re-centering our lives on Christ.
Biblical Sense:
Worship is the gathered response of God’s people to God’s presence and grace.
It includes prayer, praise, proclamation, and participation, and it orders our loves around Christ rather than ourselves.
Worship is not primarily music or emotion.
It is how God’s people keep Christ central over time through humble dependence, joyful adoration, and obedient response.
Purpose:
To form disciples through the faithful teaching of Scripture.
Biblical Sense:
God’s Word reveals who Christ is, shapes what we believe, and orders how we live.
Through preaching, teaching, and discipleship, the church is formed not by opinion or culture, but by truth.
Biblical education is not information alone — it is formation unto obedience.
Purpose:
To cultivate deep unity centered around Christ and lived out together as His body.
Biblical Sense:
Fellowship (koinōnia) is shared life in Christ.
It is how God forms a people who belong to one another because they belong to Him.
This deep unity is expressed through:
gathering together
prayer and shared worship
the Table (Communion/ Baptism)
generosity and mutual responsibility
life in groups and spiritual family
Fellowship moves the church from audience to body.
Purpose:
To bear witness to Christ by inviting others into the life we share in Him.
Biblical Sense:
Evangelism flows from identity, not pressure.
We proclaim Christ not as a product to be sold, but as a Savior to be received.
Evangelism is inviting others into repentance, faith, and shared life in Christ — through truth, love, and presence.
Purpose:
To embody the love of Christ through sacrificial service to others.
Biblical Sense:
Jesus came not to be served, but to serve.
The church reflects His heart by laying down self-interest for the good of others.
Service is worship expressed through obedience, humility, generosity, and care — both within the church and toward the world.
