UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS

WE ARE PRESENCE DRIVEN

We are not built around any personality or ministry, we are built around the presence of God. That means He is central to everything we do. 

WE VALUE 5-FOLD MINISTRY

We value and give room for 5-fold ministry as described in Ephesians 4. Unity of the faith is the goal, and the 5-Fold ministry is the means to accomplish this. 

WE REACH NEIGHBORS & NATIONS

We are committed to missions; local, and abroad by actively impacting our community and nations with the heart of God.

WE UNIFY THE BRIDE 

We are committed to cross divides, building bridges and unifying the Bride. We value connection above competition.

WE ARE GENERATIONALLY MINDED

We make decisions with generations in mind. We need every generation to be actively engaged with God and His plan for their life. 

WE BUILD ALTARS NOT STAGES

We are committed to making our ministry to the Lord the highest priority. Everything we do is for Him. 

STANDARDS OF LEADERSHIP

DAILY ENCOUNTERS

We engage the Lord through daily personal encounters by welcoming the Holy Spirit, asking the Lord to speak to us and listening for His response.

LEAD BY EXAMPLE

We commit ourselves to lead by example in every area of our lives. This is the heart of discipleship. We are discipling as we are being discipled. 

SABBATH 

We honor the Sabbath and keep it Holy by stewarding our time according to God’s teachings, balancing productivity with a commitment to take time away, and recover in order to not risk our health, well-being and effectiveness for the kingdom.

INTEGRITY

We value integrity in leadership. We are leaders with integrity that act in accordance with our words (we practice what we preach). We own up to  our mistakes, as opposed to hiding them, blaming our team, or making excuses.

COMMUNICATION 

We value communication by clearly making our thoughts, expectations and intentions known. Healthy communication today shapes the tomorrow we are working toward. 

TITHE 

We tithe and steward what God has given us. We honor God with our finances by tithing faithfully to WorldFire Church, and stewarding all the Lord has given to us and our families.

HUMILITY

We practice humility by honoring others, learning from mistakes, and encouraging one another. 

FORGIVENESS

We exercise forgiveness at all costs by asking for God’s forgiveness, forgiving ourselves, and forgiving others. We believe there is no spiritual growth without forgiveness.
