OUR VALUES

 

 

  • Biblical Authority — The Word of God is foundational to our lives. Its truths are timeless, unchanging and relevant.  The Word of God is the ultimate and final authority for our faith and conduct.

  • Intentional DiscipleshipEvery follower of Jesus needs to gain greater insight of the Scripture thru training, discover their own unique gifting, learn how to influence others, and be equipped to effectively engage our culture.

  • Experiential WorshipEvery Christ-follower needs regular times of gathering together with people of like faith to experience the presence and power of God.  Worship, in our understanding, includes anointed expressions of music, corporate praise, opportunities for giving and the proclamation of the Word of God.

  • Relational MinistryWe believe life was intended by God to be lived in relationship.  We are committed to helping people make and build relationships that are life-supporting and life-changing through the power of Christ.  Berean Assembly of God should be a place where people find help and hope, and lasting friendships.

  • Authentic PrayerPrayer is the foundational support for our relationship with Christ and the impetus for our life and service.  Prayer should be experienced as a personal lifestyle as well as shared corporately.  Prayer must be understood as a conversation with God, not a monologue to God.

  • Glocal MissionsWe are committed to impact our world locally, nationally, and globally.  We seek to empower people by creating opportunities to serve, give, and build evangelistically and with compassion ministries.

  • Spiritual GiftsThe Pentecostal dynamic is Jesus' legacy to the church.  The empowerment given thru the Holy Spirit is essential in fulfilling our biblical calling.  We are dependent upon the Holy Spirit to empower us with His gifting and manifest His fruitfulness in our lives.
