Core Values

We Value People "People Matter to God"

We believe people matter to God and therefore they matter to us. God demonstrated the high value He places on people when He gave His very best, His Son, to provide the gift of salvation. At LifeChurch, we believe it is our mandate to take Good News to the world so we can help people establish a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and equip them to become Difference Makers in the world. (John 3:16, Romans 5:8, Luke 15:7, Luke 15:10)

We Value Application of Scripture "Teaching is for Life-Change"

We believe the Bible is God’s Word to our world. Therefore, we must live and practice the life changing principles we discover. God gave us His Word in order to equip us and change us for His glory and our benefit. (Psalm 1, James 1:22-25, Luke 6:46, Psalm 119:11)

We Value Growth "Real Christ-followers Grow "

We believe every church must grow not only numerically but also spiritually. Every Christian must be in a healthy relationship with God. Just like any living thing, If it is not healthy it will not grow.

We Value Authentic Community "Growing Larger and Smaller at the Same Time"

We believe real authenticity is best described as openness with others about our strengths and weaknesses. We will help people find their way from the large group (Sunday services) into relationally-authentic community groups (LifeGroups). (Acts 2:44-47, Romans 7, Colossians 4:5)

We Value Excellence "God is Honored in Excellence"

We believe that striving for excellence honours God and inspires people. (Colossians 3:17; Malachi 1:6-14)

We Value Service "Every Member is a Minister"

We believe God has equipped every Christ-Follower with gifts and passions so they can become Difference Makers for Jesus Christ. We will encourage everyone to use and develop their gifts and talents in service to our church, community and world. (1 Peter 4:10, Romans 12:6-8, 1 Cornithians 12:4-7, Ephesians 4:11-13)

We Value Relevance "Changing Methods… Unchanging Message"

We believe the Bible is the most exciting book ever written and we seek to share its good news in relevant ways. Creativity and Innovation is encouraged. (1 Corinthians 9:22, 2 Corinthians 11:2, 1 Chronicles 12:32)
