Nine Core Values of SCCI
We believe that:
01
The anointed teaching is the catalyst to the transformation in the individual’s life and in the church (Romans 12:7; II Timothy 3:16,17;James 1:23-25).
02
The church should be culturally relevant while remaining doctrinally pure (1 Corinthians 9:19-23)
03
Christ followers should manifest authentically and yearn for continuous growth ( Ephesians 4:24-25,32; Hebrews 12:1; Philipians 1:6)
04
A church should co-operate as a united community of servants with men and women stewarding their spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 12&14; Romans 12; Ephesians 4 Psalms 133)
05
A Loving relationship should permeate every aspect of church life ( John 13:34-35;1 Corinthians 11:Luke 10:1,3).
06
Change happens best in Life groups
07
Excellence honours God and inspires people
08
We believe that churches should be led by men and women with leadership gifts ( Rom 12:8;Acts 6:2-5)
09
The pursuit of full devotion to Christ and His Kingdom is normal for every believer (I Kings 11:4;Philippians 2:1-11;II Corinthians 8:7)
