Core Values 

 1.   Powerful Bible-based preaching and teaching

        We at Bible Fellowship Church will proclaim and emphasize the truth of God’s word through relevant and accurate Biblical preaching and teaching.  Everything taught in our classrooms and from the pulpit will be based on the infallabe Word of God.  We will provide Bible centered activities and groups to further strengthen our understanding and build the knowledge and application of God’s Word in the lives of our members.

2.  Sold- out Church of  Prayer

        Knowing that nothing is accomplished without prayer, we consistently seek God’s direction for the church, its members and our community.  We will provide avenues of prayer focus including corporate prayer gatherings, prayer groups, prayer chains, the laying on of hands, and church-wide days of prayer and fasting.  We will fully seek God’s direction and intervention in our lives and those He has placed in our path and provide training and instruction to encourage the development of personal prayer and fasting.

3.  Community Engaging Evangelism & Outreach

        We will strive to develop an outwardly focused attitude of evangelism within our community and around the world.  We acknowledge that every member at Bible Fellowship Church has a responsibility to follow the mandate of our Lord by reaching out to those around them with the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  We will provide opportunities to connect with, witness to, and encourage non-believers and provide evangelistic training and service opportunities for each member.  We will continue to support national and international missions through Mission USA and MBMSI, both by giving financially and by encouraging our members to go themselves. 

4.  Life Changing Discipleship/Spiritual  Growth

        Recognizing our need to grow spiritually and develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, we will lead new believers through a process of growth, from new birth in Christ, through believer’s baptism, and on to spiritual maturity, enabling them to lead others to Christ.  We will accept people where they are and will work to create opportunities for all believers to build a strong lasting relationship with Jesus Christ through His life-changing truth.

5.  Inspiring Worship

        We believe that worship honors God, is directed toward God, and requires involvement.  We seek to draw each person into a deeper relationship with the Lord and to join together as a corporate body of believers to glorify God through music, drama, scripture, and testimonies.  We will provide avenues of worship for all members and an atmosphere of freedom and joy as we worship our heavenly Father.

6.  Nurturing Fellowship/ Missional Small Groups

         We will develop personal small groups for encouragement and reenergizing of believers so they can be more prepared to reach non-believers.  We will provide instruction, discipleship and direction to all members so that strong, personal relationships may be built and each person may grow both personally and spiritually.  We want to provide open, friendly opportunities for invitation to those who may otherwise not enter a church environment and to help non-believers come to understand the relevance of God’s Word for their lives.

7.  Visionary Godly Leadership

        We will prayerfully appoint and develop leaders that exemplify Christ, seek His direction, and encourage us to do the same.   They will seek God’s leading and vision for this church and depend upon Him for the resources and power to accomplish it.  Our leadership will communicate this direction to the church often and will lead with faith, integrity, and passion, willing to take the appropriate risks necessary.

 8.  Absolute Lordship of Jesus Christ

        Bible Fellowship Church believes that Jesus Christ died, rose again to forgive our sins, and is the head of our church! We believe that He alone is the way to salvation and we seek to live by his teachings and submit to His Lordship in all we do.  We will strive to live our lives in a manner that strengthens our faith and genuinely proclaims to others that Jesus is Lord.  We will follow the teachings of Jesus as indicated in the Bible and we will diligently seek His lead and direction in our daily lives.  We will work passionately to yield our lives, dreams, hopes and plans to His will for His purpose.
