OUR CORE VALUES
Lakeland Bible Church has identified seven basic core values which provide the basis for the activities and the ministries of our church. We believe these to be the guiding biblical principles for decision making, activities and ministry. We are:
1
Christ-centered - Christ is pre-eminent in all things; therefore His Person and work is the focal point of our teaching, worship and ministry. (Col.1:18)
2
Bible-based - We believe the Bible is God's Word to man; therefore we consistently and systematically teach the living Word of God as our only authority for life and faith. (2 Tim.3:16)
3
Spirit-led - We submit to the Holy Spirit for direction and empowerment in character and service. (Rom.8:14)
4
Prayer-powered - We seek God through prayer as an expression of total dependence upon God. (1 Tim.2:1-8)
5
Love-related - We promote loving relationships toward God and for all people for whom Christ died. (Matt.22:36-40)
6
Disciple-making - We obey the Great Commission through evangelism, missions and discipleship. (Matt.28:19,20)
7
Faith-living - We seek to please God by trusting Him for salvation, daily provision and our future hope. (Heb.11:6)
