The following are some core values held by Amazing
Grace Christian Church:
Scripture
We value the Bible as God’s Word, believing it
to be authoritative and accurate from beginning to end and that it
contains all that is necessary for salvation and service. Therefore,
we will strive to teach God’s Word accurately and intelligently, in a
systematic manner so that the unsaved will come to Christ and believers
will mature in Him.
Worship
We value worship that is authentic and
acceptable to God. Therefore, we desire to acknowledge God’s greatness
and worth in our personal lives and corporate worship of Him by
participating in the observance of the weekly Lord’s Supper where we
will take part in the bread and the cup in the context of a full meal,
in remembrance of Jesus and His death and anticipation of our eternal
fellowship with Him.
Community
We value biblical community where people have
the freedom to minister to and to love one another. Therefore, we ask
all of our people to commit to and fully participate in Church
gatherings where they may exercise their gifts and experience Christian
community.
Grace
We value a grace orientation to life in Christ
as opposed to legal orientation. Therefore, without judging and
putting others down, we encourage people to serve Christ out of love
and gratitude rather than guilt and condemnation.
Cultural Relevance
We value ministry that effectively
communicates biblical truth that people understand, while remaining
true to biblical principles.
Lost People
We value the lost because God does.
Therefore, we desire to see that all of our people use every available
Christ-honouring means to pursue, win and disciple unchurched, lost
people.
Every Member Participation
We value total congregational involvement in
ministry within their sphere of gift. Therefore, we seek to equip all
of our uniquely gifted people to effectively accomplish the work that
God has gifted them for.
