Our Values
At Praise Community Church, our values form the foundation of our mission and guide our actions as we seek to live out our faith in a meaningful and impactful way. These core values are not just ideals we aim for; they are practices we live out daily, driving our efforts to create a church that truly embodies the spirit of Christ's teachings and love.
Cultivating Compassion
At Praise Community Church, cultivating compassion involves actively extending kindness and understanding to those in need. As Colossians 3:12 encourages, "Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience," we strive to reflect Jesus' love and empathy in our actions and attitudes.
Nurturing Community
Nurturing community means creating a welcoming, supportive environment where relationships can flourish. Hebrews 10:24-25 encourages us, "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." Use this as a guideline to foster a sense of belonging and mutual care among church members and everyone you encounter.
Engaging Outreach
Engaging in outreach reflects our dedication to sharing God's love beyond our church walls. As Jesus commanded in Matthew 28:19-20, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations," we are committed to impacting our local and global community through acts of service and evangelism, remembering His promise, "And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."
Growing Spiritually
Spiritual growth is a core value that involves deepening our faith and understanding of Scripture. We encourage practices that cultivate a closer relationship with Christ, heeding the advice of 2 Peter 3:18, "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen."
Vibrant Worship
Vibrant worship at Praise Community Church is characterized by enthusiastic and heartfelt praise. Psalm 100:1-2 captures the spirit of our worship: "Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!" Through this, we aim to honor God with our voices, hearts, and lives, making every worship experience both uplifting and transformative.
