Worship
“Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers
will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for they are
the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.” John 4:23
Worship is first and foremost at encounter with the living
and holy God. A true worship experience is often a direct
result of preparation for worship.
Fellowship
“What grieved them most was his statement that they would
never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the
ship.” Acts 20:38
Fellowship is a gift from Christ. Fellowship builds strong
personal relationships. Genuine fellowship fosters the love
of Christ.

name of the Lord Jesus giving thanks to God the Father through
him.” Colossians 3:17

to help us live for God day by day: (1) imitate Christ’s merciful,
forgiving attitude
Ministry
“I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there
may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly
united in mind and thought.” 1 Corinthians 1:10
It is the service rendered to God by serving your fellow man.
True ministry centers on God’s message. True ministry is always
a team effort.
Evangelism
“May they (the Church) be brought to complete unity to let
the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as
you have loved me.” John 17:23
Christians should be personally responsible to pass on the
gospel. The gospel message cannot be reduced to a simple formula.
The gospel message must be given to create some response.
