These guiding values provide clear directions for St. Paul Baptist Church. They are essential to spiritual growth and effectiveness in ministry.

Christ's Headship
We value Christ as the head of our church and submit ourselves and all our activities to His word, will and divine pleasure (Eph. 1:22-23).

Prayer
We value sincere and fervent prayer in our private and corporate lives in the conception, planning, and execution of all the ministries and activities of this church (Matt. 7:7-11; James 5:13-18).

Biblical Preaching and Teaching
We value the preaching and teaching of God's Word with integrity and authority so that unbelievers may repent and know Christ, while believers may mature in Him (2 Tim. 3:16).

Authentic Worship
We value authentic individual and corporate worship that flows from a pure heart that acknowledges God's supreme value and worth. (Rom. 12:1-2).

Christian Community
We value biblically based small groups where the participants may evangelize the non-Christian, exercise their gifts, be shepherded, and thus grow in Christlikeness (Acts 2:44-46).

Marriage and Family
We value marriage and families by seeking to maintain and perpetuate sanctity of these two holy institutions. (2 Tim. 1:5).

Discipleship
We value discipleship and strive to institute the Christ honoring elements that facilitate authentic discipleship. (Matthew 28:19-20).

Lost People
We value unchurched individuals who are in rebellion to our Lord and will use every available Christ honoring means to pursue, win, and disciple them (Luke 19:10).*

Ministry Excellence
We value the significance of striving for a high standard of excellence and ethical behavior in our personal lives, ministries, and activities. We will strive for constant improvement and creativity in all we do (Col. 3:23-24)

Serving
We desire to earn the trust, confidence, and goodwill of our congregation and visitors every day by seeking to become a servant of all (Mark 10:45).
