OUR CORE VALUES:
BIBLICAL FOUNDATION
Because God is the source of all wisdom, His Word is the guide for all our decisions.
KINGDOM FOCUSED
Because God’s Kingdom is one, we seek to connect the Christian community in the Valley area in ministering to the internationals who live among us.
INTERNATIONAL OUTREACH
Because God loves all the peoples of the world, we love people from every culture, ethnic group, and nation.
FRIENDSHIP FOCUSED
Because God accepts us and wants us to be whole, we freely extend our hand of friendship to everyone.
UNITY IN DIVERSITY
Because God united us in the essentials, we celebrate diversity in the nonessentials.
EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP
Because God desires for all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth, we seek to share the Good News with others.
ACTS OF MERCY
Because God cares for the poor, the needy, and the oppressed, we seek to provide practical, loving assistance to them.
EDUCATION AND ENRICHMENT
Because God cares about the total person, we care about every facet of the internationals life.
