Core Values

We acknowledge the Lordship of Jesus Christ and value the Bible as the Word of God and as the authority for our mission efforts and work.

Phil. 2:9-11; 2 Timothy 3:15-17

We value our churches and respect their autonomy.

Matthew 16:18

We value cooperation. We are intentional in our efforts to build trust. We join our hearts and our resources in fellowship, strategy and service to accomplish the Great Commission of reaching Muskogee, Wagoner, Cherokee, and McIntosh counties and the world for Christ.

Acts 11:22-30; Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8

We value the mosaic of God's Kingdom. We see our differences as opportunities to experience God more fully. We celebrate a genuinely multiethnic, multicultural partnership of churches of all sizes.

Acts 10:34-35; 1 Corinthians 12:12; Ephesians 4:7-13; Rev. 5:9; Rev 7:9
