We see all our members connected to each other with covenant relationship and community in smallgroups all over the city for care, edification, discipleship, and outreach, flowing with corporate unity together with other ministries to fulfill God’s vision and agenda for our church.
We see our members consumed with touching the world for Jesus Christ, with everyone being equipped and empowered to pray, to reach out and to share the Gospel with the community. We see them passionately involved with God’s global agenda through the release of resources, giving and sending of workers, teams and missionaries into the world.
We see our church reaching out to the hurt and the needy through our community transformation programs by providing shelter, care, counseling, training and job placements, by setting up orphanages,feeding centers and soup kitchens, kidney dialysis centers,medical assistance centers, family counseling centers and other appropriate social concern projects.
We see our church extending the kingdom and enlarging our influence by starting multi-site congregations and planting churches in Malaysia and in other nations. We plan to plant at least one new church a year.
We see our church as a place of training for systematic discipleship, ministry and leadership development and life skills training to empower our members in their personal lives, home, career and ministry through our services, training institutes and seminars and also to establish a full-time Bible School.
We see our church as a place of empowerment and development of spirit-filled and strategic leadership that will be deployed and positioned in different realms of the workplace throughout Malaysia and beyond.
We see our church investing time, effort and finances to reach and empower the younger generation especially the children and the youth. We will develop a cutting edge children and youth ministry and envision a youth training institute and a children ministry institute.

Our Core Values
Anointed Teaching & Preaching Of The Word Of God
The anointed ministry of the Word is the most powerful catalyst for transformation. The Word is both timeless and timely and relevant to the needs of men and women and the specific needs of contemporary living. It is the foundation for all levels of equipping for life and ministry. We will be culturally relevant without compromising on biblical truth.
2 Tim. 3:16-17, Rom. 12:2
2 Tim. 3:16-17, Rom. 12:2
Spirit-Filled & Spirit-Led Prayer & Worship
The church is the house of prayer and the highest call of a believer is the call to worship. Prayer and worship must be God-centered and empowered by the Holy Spirit. We pray and worship “in the Spirit” and “with the Spirit”. John 4:24, 1 Cor. 14:15
The Prophetic Edge Of The Word & The Holy Spirit
We are called to live today in the light of eternity. We must discern God’s agenda and activities in line with the urgency of biblical prophecies and specific “rhema” and “kairos” moments in our lives and the church.
Life & Ministry Empowerment
Everyone is uniquely designed to serve God within the program of the church and at the workplace. We will equip, encourage and actively help them find the place that God has designed for them in the matter of their personal ministry and work development. Eph. 4:11-16, 1 Peter 1:3-4
The Family
A strong, united and Christ-centered family is the crucial foundation for the testimony and strength of the church and for nation-building. We want to see wholesome development of relationships between the spouses and also between parents and their children. We envision the whole family serving God. Gen. 2:18-24, Psalm 127:3-4, Jos. 24:15, Eph. 5:22-33
Loving Relationships
Loving relationships must permeate every aspect of church life and leadership. Our relationship with each other is a reflection of our relationship with God. It will be marked by loyalty, strength by speaking the truth with love, and edified by a spirit of servanthood. The greatest is love. 1 Cor. 13, Neh. 3, Luke 10:1, John 13:34-35, James 3:13-18
Life Groups
Life change happens best in smallgroups. It will stimulate spiritual growth, build relationships and develop leaders when included with the concept of discipleship, relationship, accountability and openness. Luke 6:12-13, Acts 2:44-47
Gifted, Anointed & Strategic Leadership
Men and women with leadership gifts, who are Spirit-Anointed, Christ-Centered, Servant-in-Heart and Supernaturally-Gifted should lead the church. They must lead with power, servanthood, strategic focus and intentionality. Rom. 12:8, Acts 6:2-5, Neh. 1-2
Reaching The Lost
We value the lost because God values the lost. Saving the lost is His consuming passion and it shall be ours as well. People matter most to God, so they ought to matter the most to the church. Matt. 18:14, Luke 5:30-32
Excellence
God deserves the best that we have to offer. He is honored and people are inspired by our excellence. This often will include the concept of evaluation, critical reviews, intensity and excellence. Rom. 8:32, Col. 3:23, 17, Mal. 1:6-14, Pro. 27:17
Full Passion & Devotion To Christ
A follower of Christ should manifest authenticity, desire for continual growth and a passion for Him. This will include the call to discipleship, character building, stewardship and pursuit of Kingdom goals. Eph. 4:25-26, Phil. 1:6, 2:1-11, 2 Cor. 8:7
Growth
We know that it is God’s will for us to reach as many people as possible with the Gospel.
We will pursue methods and policies, which will facilitate numerical growth without compromising our integrity or commitment to biblical truth. Mark 4:26-29, Col. 2:19

* Core values explain who we are – our identity. They are the building blocks (DNA) of our ministry and explain why we do what we do. They form the foundation in which mission and vision are built and along with them form the church philosophy.
