Who We Are

Our

Mission and Values

Our Mission

Create opportunities for children to know Christ as we provide spiritual, physical, and mental nourishment.

Our Vision

Break the cycle of spiritual and physical poverty.


Our Values

Our values are based on two major pillars founded on two major Biblical Principles:


1.) We believe and want to share the good news that “God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son." John 3:16-18 


2.) We believe “Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’ (Matthew 19:14) Jesus said, “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.' (Matthew 25:35-36)

What We Believe

1. We believe the Bible is the authoritative, inspired, and only infallible Word of God. We believe the Bible reveals the love of God to the world. 
1 Thessalonians 2:13; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; John 3:16


2. We believe that there is only one true living God. We believe God is eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son (Jesus Christ), and Holy Spirit. 
Matthew 28:19; John 10:30; Ephesians 4:4-6


3. We believe Jesus is the son of the living God, that He was born of a virgin, that He lived a sinless life, He performed many miracles, and He died a vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood on the cross, He resurrected after three days, He then ascended to the right hand of the Father, and we believe He will return in power and glory. 
Matthew 1:23; John 1:1-4 and 1:29; Acts 1:11 and 2:22-24; Romans 8:34; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Philippians 2:5-11; Hebrews 1:1-4 and 4:15


4. We believe that all men everywhere have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. We believe that all will face the judgment of God and that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation. We believe that repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in a rebirth and a new creation by the work of the Holy Spirit. We believe that God will reward the righteous with eternal life in heaven, and that He will banish the unrighteous to everlasting punishment in hell. 
Luke 24:46-47; John 14:6; Acts 4:12; Romans 3:23; 2 Corinthians 5:10-11; Ephesians 1:7 and 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-7


5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life. 
John 3:5-8; Acts 1:8 and 4:31; Romans 8:9; 1 Corinthians 2:14; Galatians 5:16-18; Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 2:6-10


6. We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of eternal life and the lost unto the resurrection of damnation and eternal punishment. 
1 Corinthians 15:51-57; Revelation 20:11-15


7. We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ and that all true believers are members of His body, the Church. 
1 Corinthians 12:12, 27; Ephesians 1:22-23


8. We believe that the ministry of evangelism and discipleship. We believe these are responsibilities of all followers of Jesus Christ. We believe that evangelism is sharing and proclaiming the message of salvation only possible by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. We believe discipleship is defined as helping followers of Christ grow up into maturity in Christ.
Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15; 1 Peter 3:15


9. We believe God’s plan for human sexuality is to be expressed only within the context of marriage, that God created man and woman as unique biological persons made to complete each other. God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society.

Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:5-6; Mark 10:6-9; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9


10. We believe that we must dedicate ourselves to the ministry of evangelism, to service of God and to prayer.
Matthew 9:35-38; 22:37-39, and 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Romans 10:9-15 and 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10; Colossians 2:6-10; 1 Peter 3:15


11. We believe that all life is sacred from conception to its natural end. Because of this, we must have concern for the physical and spiritual needs of our fellowmen.
Psalm 139:13; Isaiah 49:1; Jeremiah 1:5; Matthew 22:37-39; Romans 12:20-21; Galatians 6:10

OUR IMPACT

Our Guiding

Principles

Image of an old Bible opened

Servanthood

We desire to serve as Jesus served. “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many” Mark 10:45

 

Compassion

This is what the Lord Almighty said: “Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. Do not plot evil against each other.” Zechariah 7:8-10

 

Scripture-Directed

“And how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:15-17

 

Stewardship

We believe every resource at our disposal is not ours, but God’s. We are faithful to the purpose each gift is given and manage our resources in a way that brings the maximum benefit to the children we serve. “For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth…all things were created through him and for him.” Colossians 1:15-16

 

Spirit-Led

We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life and serve in a way that glorifies God. “But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.”  2 Corinthians 2:14
