A quest for biblical holiness – through a daily prayer and devotional experience with Jesus and a commitment to following His Word
A vibrant worship experience – one which is characterised by principle, reverence, and decorum
A passion for lost souls – animated by a personal experience in the saving love of Jesus and desire for His imminent return
A cultivation of godly relationships – preserving purity and encouraging accountability
An exemplary and abundant lifestyle – in recreation, entertainment, dress and healthful living
