VISION
Our
vision is "Reaching and Touching
Lives for Jesus with Excellence”
CORE
VALUES
We value
• Excellence and believe that it
inspires people and glorifies God and
ought to characterize everything we do
• Spontaneity of Spirit-We are a
Spirit driven church, our worship is reflective
of this; we make no apologies for being
such.
• Creativity and innovation in everything
we do. We believe by faith that anything
can change. We see possibilities. We are
willing to try new things, go new places,
obtain new ground; we aid and encourage
those around us to do the same, for the
greater glory of God.
• Genuine friendship. As a church
we want to be warm and welcoming to visitors
and to care for and support each other,
just like a close family. We will try
to establish quality friendships and authentic
relationships with non-members.
• Prayer-We desire an intimate relationship
with our God, so we pray as individuals
and as a body.
• Stewardship of our time, talents,
and finances honors God
• Generosity- We will give of ourselves
sacrificially
• Accountability in doctrine and
Integrity-Maintaining an "Integrity
of Heart"
• Strong marriages that result in
strong families and healthy connections
• Holiness and righteousness for
without the holiness that is imputed upon
us by Jesus Christ, no one will see the
Father in Heaven.
• Development of servant leadership
for servant hood is inevitable if one
is to be effective in the Kingdom of God.
Servant hood comes before honor and we
will not be judged on how were served
but rather how we served Christ and his
people.
Worship
at Neema Gospel Church
The Bible tells us in John 4:23-24, “The
father seeks those who will worship Him
in Spirit and Truth” In Spirit means-This
involves our whole heart, soul, mind and
strength. At the same time, we are required
to worship in truth that is according to
the word of God. When we worship in God’s
way, it both pleases Him and sets us free.
