FAL's Core Values
"To
promote successful living and help people
get to heaven."
-
ENCOUNTERS WITH GOD are part of the
Christian life. Salvation, healing, baptism
in the Holy Spirit, prophecy and personal
revelations all contribute to a rich
relationship with the Living God. We want
to create environments where the Holy Spirit
can freely minister in supernatural ways.
-
AUTHENTICITY is an attitude of the heart
but it’s never static. Hypocrisy,
inconsistency and pretension must constantly
be rooted out as we cultivate the Christian
life.
-
ANOINTED TEACHING is the primary
catalyst for personal growth and changed
lives. As the gospel is presented in the
power of the Holy Spirit, people's lives
will continue to develop.
-
LEADERSHIP and MINISTRY are God's
framework for the church. Gifted leadership
provides opportunity, direction and
encouragement for every believer to use
God-given gifts in service to others and to
live a life of significance. Jesus modeled
servant leadership, mentoring and
team-building as examples of how to equip
the saints for the work of ministry. "Every
member a minister with a ministry" is the
New Testament mandate.
-
INNOVATION and CULTURAL RELEVANCE are
important because lost people matter to God.
Effective missions strategy demonstrates
that we must speak the language of a culture
to communicate our message. To be
innovative is to get people’s attention. To
be culturally relevant is to "speak the
language." We believe this can be done
without compromising the Scriptures.
- LIFE
CHANGE HAPPENS BEST IN SMALL GROUPS.
God’s design is that we best live out our
faith in community. Small groups allow us
to make deeper friendships, receive and give
pastoral care and grow spiritually as we
encourage and challenge one another.
-
EXCELLENCE honors God and inspires
people. All that we do should be "to the
glory of God," and therefore of the best
possible quality.
