Core Values

We love and adore God

The Church is for God first, and we must be a place where He is profoundly adored and passionately praised. We minister at His feet with worship as our greatest joy.

Philippians 2:9-11; Revelation 5:12

His presence is our focus

If His presence isn’t with us, we won’t go; we will not move if His Spirit is not leading us. Together we follow Him!

Exodus 33:15, Psalm 16:11, 2 Corinthians 2:17

We are people of His Word

We desire His Word and want more of His grace. Jesus called the Word of God ‘Daily Bread’, so we feed on it every day – not just Sundays. We don’t just study the Word, but we DO it and also live what we preach.

Psalm 119:105, Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, James 1:22

One family on a mission

We come to His feet to become His feet. Together, we preach and live the Gospel of Jesus’ kingdom. We are a family that takes His mission out, locally and to the nations. Our mindset is: If Jesus lived in our city, how would He live? Therefore, as a church, just like any healthy family, we will empower leaders to multiply and plant new churches that have a missional focus for the Gospel. We see people from heaven’s perspective, build up the weak, and empower the strong.

John 17:21-23, Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 2:42-47, 1 Corinthians 12:12-14

A house of the fivefold ministry

We are a church that functions in the grace of the fivefold ministry. All gifts that come from God are to be discovered, recognized, and celebrated. We are thankful for all He has placed in people, and we need each other’s strengths to see a more full picture of Christ.

Ephesians 3:18-20, Ephesians 4:11-16, Luke 10:1-2, 1 Corinthians 12:4-14

Not just a church but a movement

We have local churches underneath the banner of the movement of Awakening Europe. The heart behind Awakening Europe is to send people all across the continent to preach the Gospel, which includes planting new churches. We believe that unity is necessary for the harvest in this hour, and we have the honor of working with many denominations across Europe to this end. Since the conception of this ministry, and to the glory of God, we have seen thousands of Europeans turn to Christ.

Acts 4:20, 29-31, Psalm 71:14-15

We celebrate the testimonies of God

We celebrate what God is doing as He creates His-story. Testimonies must be remembered and declared again and again. We relentlessly celebrate salvation as we desire for Jesus to receive His full reward. We don’t just stop at ‘souls in heaven’ – we desire to disciple people into deep Lovers of Jesus, serving Him faithfully in their daily lives.

Matthew 24:14, Acts 1:8, 2 Timothy 1:8, Revelation 12:11

We have a culture of honor

We love people and embrace everyone with gentleness and mercy. Jesus told us to make disciples. In other words, they don’t come ready-made. We spend our time and resources building up and motivating people to thrive in areas where they are strong, and to grow in areas where they are weak. Our community honors each other’s Godgiven gifts, and we strive to see the best in people. This is what we pursue: a greenhouse growth culture.

Romans 12:10, 1 Peter 2:9, Philippians 2:3, Romans 13:7, Hebrews 3:13, Hebrews 13:17, Matthew 18:15-20
