Our Vision:
We
are a Light that pierces the darkness. We are a city set on a hill that
cannot be hidden. We are a beacon of hope for the hopeless. We are
helping people discover the path of salvation and liberation through
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
We
are a church full of intercessory prayer warriors. All of us are
actively engaged in praying faith-filled prayers for an outpouring of
the Holy Spirit in our city, state and region. Our prayers have opened
the heavens and have literally changed the atmosphere over our city. We
are praying that all who live and work in Montpelier are coming under
the conviction of God and they will respond to the message of
salvation. Prayer meetings are taking place weekly. We are a house of
fervent prayer.
We
are a church that loves to worship God. We are hungry for the manifest
presence of God. We are no longer interested in dead religion or
playing church. We want to encounter the Living God. We express our
love to Him every day but especially during our corporate meetings. Our
praises have broken down demonic strongholds and have brought healing
to many. We rejoice always. Our worship is intimate and it expresses
the deep affection in our hearts for God. We sing, shout, dance, and
celebrate with joyful hearts. We want God’s face and not just His hand.
One day in His courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. We have a
passion for His presence.
We
are a church that is solidly committed to the truth of God’s Word. We
are not just hearers of the Word, but we are doers. We are committed to
making disciples and teaching believers the principles of a victorious
and overcoming life.
We
are a church that is building strong Biblical families. Our families
are receiving top priority care and nurture. Our marriages are healthy
and growing strong through intimacy with God.
We
are a church that is committed to missions outreach around the world.
We are helping many people find their destiny on the mission fields. Of
the world. We have many active missionaries in other countries and we
are supporting them prayerfully and financially. We take the Great
Commission seriously. Go into all the world and preach the gospel to
all creation (Mark 16:15)

Core Values:
We believe that the Bible is the Word of God and thus it is our standards for all belief, instruction, practice and policy.
We believe that anointed preaching and teaching is the catalyst for transformation in individuals’ lives.
We believe that lost people matter to God, and therefore, ought to matter to the church.
We believe that fervent prayer precedes renewal, revival, and reformation.
We believe that bountiful sowing and generous giving, when mixed with faith, yields God’s abundant provision.
We believe that a church should operate as a unified community of servants with men and women stewarding their spiritual gifts.
We believe that loving relationships should permeate every aspect of church life.
We believe in the sanctity of human life and that marriage is between one man and one woman.
We believe that life-change and evangelism happens best in cell groups.
We believe that excellence honors God and inspires people.
We recognize and encourage God-given gifts in women as well as men, in members of all races and ethnic groups.
We believe that the pursuit of full devotion to Christ and His cause is normal for every believer.
We believe that Godly authority and government is healthy and necessary for the proper administration of New Testament churches.
We believe that a lifestyle of holiness is a reflection of the nature, attributes and character of a Holy God.
