VALUES: Faithfulness; Holiness; Prayer; Worship; World Impact; The Family; Biblical Education; The Body of Christ; Involvement in Ministry.

FAITHFULNESS: We acknowledge that all we are and have, as individuals and as a corporate body, is entrusted to us as a stewardship from God. As stewards, it is necessary that we be found faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ, whose we are and whom we serve. I Corinthians 4:1-5.

HOLINESS: God has called us to live a life that is not conformed to this world, involving a purity of life that is obvious to those around us. Romans 12:3; I Peter
2:9-1 2.

PRAYER: The examples of the Lord Jesus Christ and the early church, as well as the specific commands of the Word of God, lead us to vital, ongoing prayer ministries as a body. Through prayer we seek guidance, power, and God’s intervention in our various plans and activities. Mark 1:35; Acts 12:5; I Thessalonians 5:17.

WORSHIP: Worship is at the center of everything that the church believes, practices and seeks to accomplish. It is the destiny of the Body of Christ, and the eternal occupation of every believer, to recognize and express the worthiness of God to be honored and adored above all. Psalm 34:1-3; Matthew 22:37-38; John 4:23.

WORLD IMPACT: We seek to serve the world in Jesus’ name, through evangelistic outreach and other forms of help. This will include various outreach events, as well as both individual and corporate activities in witness, missions, and practical service. Matthew 5:13-16; 25:31-46; Acts 1:8.

THE FAMILY: God’s instructions and priority given to the family lead us to ministries that will strengthen, encourage, enable, and help the families we serve. Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:21-6:4; I Timothy 5:1-8.

BIBLICAL EDUCATION: Training is vital to the process of making disciples and equipping the saints for service, and thus emphasis is placed on the preaching and teaching ministries of DCC, as well as the Damascus Christian School ministry. Our commission is to make disciples who are learning obedience to the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 4:7-16; Matthew 28:18-20.

THE BODY OF CHRIST: We seek to grow in love and unity as a local church, and to develop strong relationships of mutual and complementary ministry or service. This involves a work of restoration in all of our lives as we are transformed into the image of Christ, and included are the important elements such as grace, healing, forgiveness, thankfulness, and appreciation. Ephesians 4:1-6; I Corinthians 12:12-27.

INVOLVEMENT IN MINISTRY: God’s plan is for all members of the church to use their spiritual gifts and natural abilities in serving others in Jesus’ name, and to commit their various resources to such work. Ephesians 4:7-16; I Corinthians.
