Making disciples who reflect the love of God

Core Values

LEADM: Love, Encounter, Authenticity, Discipleship, and Ministry - Our foundation

At Connection SDA Church, these core values are not just principles; they are the heartbeat of our community. LEADM represents our commitment to Love, Encounter with God, Authenticity, Discipleship, and Ministry. Join us as we live out these values and strive to make a meaningful impact on our community and beyond.

Love and Fellowship

a. "By this, all people will know that you are My disciples if you have love for one another." – John 13:35

b. Love is not just a trait; it is our identity. We nurture this love through fellowship, following the example set in Acts 2:42, where devotion to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer marked the early believers.

c. Embracing John 15:12, our community thrives on the love that signifies our discipleship.

Center in God and the Bible

a. "And this is eternal life, that they know You, the only True God, and Jesus Christ Whom You have sent." – John 17:03

b. Our first objective is to seek the Lord, achieved through Bible study and prayer, as demonstrated in Acts 2:42.

c. The Word is our guide, illuminating our path and transforming lives (Ps. 119:105, Heb. 4:12).

d. We study the Word individually, connecting directly with God, ensuring authenticity and alignment with His truth (Acts 17:11, 2 Tim. 3:15-17).

Gift-Oriented Discipleship

a. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” – Matt. 28:19-20

b. Discipleship is our mission, complemented by teaching and the Discipleship Pathway as our process.

c. The Holy Spirit gifts us uniquely, empowering us for specific tasks (1 Cor. 12:11).

Joyful Service

a. "…whoever would be great among you must be your servant…" – Matt. 20:26-28

b. Service is our main tenet, modeled after Jesus, and fueled by zeal (Rom. 12:11, 1 Cor 15:58).

Authenticity

a. Our actions are guided by truth, not trends, as the Spirit of truth leads us (John 16:13, John 17:17).

b. Everything we do – worship, Sabbath School, ministries – aligns with our mission, vision, and core values.
