The Order

The Orders Core Values

          Pray-We value what Jesus said, “Apart from Me you can do nothing”- and we challenge every member to a daily time of prayer outside of the times that they are with the group. (John 15:5)

          Know-“Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Therefore, we challenge all as an ongoing discipline to in the classes, small groups, and individually systematically learn God’s Word. (Matthew 4:4)

          Grow-“Go into all the world….teaching them to be my disciples.” We challenge every member to grow in the likeness of Jesus in both word and deed. (Matthew 28:19)

Reach-“Go and make disciples,” we challenge every member to be investing in the lives of others through prayer and building friendships. (Matthew 28:19)

Give-“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” We understand this to include our time, talents, and money, and encourage our members to give from each according to the Spirits leading. (Acts 20:35)

Celebrate-“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and strength,” we challenge everyone to regular attendance in worship and service to redevelop a lifestyle of praise. (Mark 12:30)

Serve- “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.” We challenge every member to serve according to his or her God-given gifts. (Mark 9:35)

Connect-“that they may be one as we are one,” we challenge every member and the body of Christ to become unified while serving together in ministry and participating in ongoing fellowship. (John 17:22)
