We value holiness in all our relationships and our daily activities. There is no price too high to compromise God’s standard of holiness on our daily operations. Therefore we are committed to upholding biblical character and conduct in everything we do.

Truth

We acknowledge that God is our source of knowledge and wisdom. We recognize that in this world there are many sources of knowledge and wisdom. We affirm that we shall continually check the rightness of knowledge from any source (for example from books, internet, consultants or traditions we have inherited) based on biblical truth.

Faith

We affirm our faith in God in all our endeavors and operations as enshrined in the Bible. We stand firm in faith as individuals and corporately in order to achieve our destiny.

Godly Relationships

We recognize every activity or task we carry out with individual or entities is an opportunity to create permanent and friendly relationships. Every person or entity we interact with is to advance human dignity and build a selfless society. The basis of our relationships is friendship.

Excellence

God is a God of excellence and quality. Hence we seek to demonstrate higher standards of excellence and quality in all our activities. We strive to be role models of excellence.

Servant Leadership

We believe in servant leadership where leaders advance the course of those they lead and developing others.

We affirm that for order to exist we shall fully support and encourage our leaders.

Unity in Diversity

We value the unity of the body of Christ which our Lord Jesus Christ prayed that we should portray before the world. We also appreciate the beauty of the diversity in which God has created us. Hence we appreciate people regardless of race, ethnic background, color of skin, language, age, personality, financial status, social standing or political persuasion. This diversity is confined within the unity of faith as stipulated in our statement of Faith.
