Coatesville Bible Fellowship Core Values

Core Values

• Christ’s Headship: We acknowledge Christ as the head of our church and submit ourselves and all our activities to His will and good pleasure (Eph. 1:22-23).
• Biblical Teaching: We strive to teach God’s Word with integrity and authority so that seekers find Christ and believers mature in Him (2 Tim. 3:16).
• Authentic Worship: We desire to acknowledge God’s supreme value and worth in our personal lives and in the corporate, contemporary worship of our church (Rom. 12:1-2)
• Prayer: We rely on private and corporate prayer in the conception, planning, and execution of all the ministries and activities of this church (Matt.7:7-11).
• Sense of Community: We ask all our people to commit to and fully participate in biblically functioning small groups where they may reach the lost, exercise their gifts, be shepherded, and thus grow in Christlikeness (Acts 2:44-46).
• Family: We support the spiritual nurture of the family as one of God’s dynamic means to perpetuate the Christian faith (2 Tim. 1:5).
• Grace-Orientation: We encourage our people to serve Christ from hearts of love and gratitude rather than guilt and condemnation (Rom.6:14).
• Creativity and Innovation: We will constantly evaluate our forms and methods, seeking cultural relevance and maximum ministry effectiveness for Christ (I Chron. 12:32).
• Mobilized Congregation: We seek to equip all our uniquely designed and gifted people to effectively accomplish the work of our ministry (Eph. 4:11-13).
• Lost People: We value unchurched, lost people and will use every available Christ-honoring means to purse, win, and disciple them (Luke 19:10).
• Ministry Excellence: Since God gave His best (the Savior), we seek to honor Him by maintaining a high standard of excellence in all our ministries and activities (Col. 3:23-24).
