2. There is One God who is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent, revealed in the three distinct persons of the Trinity–God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. [Deut. 6:4; Matt. 28:19; I Cor. 8:6]

3. Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh – a fact proven by His virgin birth, sinless life, His works and words, His sacrificial atoning death on the cross, His defeat of the forces of darkness in hell, His bodily resurrection, His appearances to His disciples and His ascension to the right hand of the Father. [Luke 1:26-38; Isaiah 7:17; Hebrews 4:15; John 14:9-11; Gal.1:4; Col. 2:15; Luke 24; Col. 3:1]

4. Jesus Christ is Absolute Lord over all things because of what He has done. [Phil. 2:6-11; Heb. 1:4]

5. The only means of salvation from eternal damnation and to the life eternal with God in Paradise is by accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior. In accepting Jesus, an individual’s human spirit is born of God by the regenerative power of the Holy Spirit. [Rom 10:9-10; Acts 4:12; John 3:3-8; II Cor. 5:17]

6. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is available to all believers and is freely given to all those who ask for it. [Acts 2:1-4; Luke 11:13]

7. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit empowers each believer to do the works of Jesus Christ. It is further evidenced by the manifestation of spiritual gifts. [John 14:12; Acts2: 1; I Cor.12: 4-11]

8. The Church, as the bride of Christ, will be caught up to meet Jesus in the air at the time appointed by God the Father. [I Thess. 4:16-18; Acts 1:11]

9. The Church's purpose is to be God's representative figure here on this earth; to bring the Good News of salvation to the lost; to heal the sick and to set the captives free from the bondage of the evil one; and to reestablish the Kingdom of God. [II Cor. 5:18-20; Acts 1:8; Matt. 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-18; Luke 11:1-4]

10) The Church, Israel and the End Times. We, the Church, owe a great debt of love to the nation of Israel and the Jewish people. It was out of their seed that the world gained the Messiah, Jesus Christ. We recognize Jesus Christ as the Jewish Messiah who came to save His own first. Though Israel as a nation and people rejected Him, there was still a Jewish remnant that did accept Him as their Lord and Savior. They became the first Christian Church. God has never stopped loving Israel nor has He taken them out of His eternal plan. (Romans 1:16; Romans 2:9,10; Romans 11:11,25-28

Our values are the ideals that we hold to at Word of Life. They exert a powerful influence on the kind of people we are and are an intrinsic part of our church body. Jesus is our example. Jesus impressed upon His disciples to walk as He walked. If we claim to be His disciples, ultimately our lives must reflect the same values that Jesus expressed.
These ten values briefly encompass our personality as a ministry:

1. We are committed to simplicity and truthfulness. Nothing is ever done purely for effect or to manipulate people.

2. We are committed to honesty, integrity and loyalty.

3. We are committed to keeping ourselves from gossip, contention, strife and the planting of discord.

4. People are more important than rules and regulations.

5. We highly value one-on-one relationships.

6. Clothing is not a form of status or means of acceptance.

7. The building is not “the church”. It is only a place where we, the church, meet.

8. Giving of ourselves, our time and our money expresses our love, worship and commitment to God and His program, the Church. We give because we want to, not because we have to. It is unscriptural to coerce people into giving to God.

9. Serving God is a joy and a blessing. Therefore, we serve Him willingly–not because we have to.

10. We encourage others to reach their full potential in Christ and allow them to be what God wants them to be.
