Fenton Park Bible Church

FPBC Core Values

 

The authority of Christ and His word, the Bible
(Col.1:18, 2 Tim.3:16-17, Heb.1:1-2)
• We believe that the Head of the church is Jesus Christ and that in life and ministry, His Word is our final authority. It is timeless and relevant, able to meet needs and address specific issues and problems people face today.

Prayer
(Phil.4:6, Eph.6:18, Col.4:2, 1 Thess.5:16-18)
• Prayer is the strength, support and surrounding quality for all we do and every initiative we take.

Discipleship & growth
(Matt.16:18, 28:19-20, Acts 2:41, 5:14, 6:1&7, 9:31, 16:5, Col.1:27-28)
• Jesus said “I will build my church”. The book of Acts shows us a clear picture of growth, both spiritually and numerically

Missions
(Matt.28-19-20, Mark 16:15, Acts 1:8, John 3:16, Luke 19:10)
• God’s heartbeat is for mission, across the street and around the world, and so it should be our heart beat. We believe that lost people matter to God, which is why He sent His Son.

Godly servant leadership
(1 Tim.3, Acts 20:28, Eph.5:25-28, 1 Peter 3:7)
• We believe godly servant leadership is God’s standard for the home and church life. Christ is our model of servant leadership. Such leadership is vital for the health and growth of a local church.

United people working together
Rom.15:5, Eph.4:3-6, John 13:34-35, Heb.10:24-25, Rom.12:6-8, 1 Cor.12:4-12, 1 Peter 4:10, Eph.4:11-12)
• We believe God wants His people to live in harmonious relationships using their gifts, skills, talents, and abilities to serve God and others.

Effectiveness, Efficiency, Excellence
(Ephesians 6:7-8, 1 Corinthians 10:31,
Colossians.3:23-24, 1 Peter 4:11)
• We believe God deserves our best. Ecellence honours God and inspires people. We strive for excellence not perfection, doing the very best we can with the resources God has given us.
