ides core values

partnership

We believe that God works through His church to accomplish His purpose. We believe God has gifted His people to do ministry in His name.

(Eph. 4:11-16; 1 Cor. 12)

dependence on god

We are dependent on God for wisdom and guidance every day. We are to pray about everything. We will trust God to provide for our needs and we will seek first His kingdom.(John 15:5; Phil. 4:6, 7, 19; Matt. 6:33)

We must be good examples of what we teach. We are to be faithful and trustworthy stewards. We are to live above reproach.

(2 Cor. 8:19-21; 1 Thes. 5:23, 24; 1 Tim. 3:2)

“Whatever you eat or drink or whatever you do, you must do all for the glory of God.”

(1 Cor. 10:31; Matt. 5:16)

We are “beggars telling other beggars where to find food.” By giving physical bread we seek to earn the right to share “The Bread of Life” with the hungry.

(Matt. 28:19,20; Acts 2:38; Colossians 1:28,29)
