OUR CORE
VALUES
FAMILY WORSHIP CENTRE
1. FAMILY
We believe that the family was
instituted by God and it constitutes of
a man (male) and his wife (female)
with or without children.
Family is the thread that weaves the
fabric of every society – weak families
spell weak society/church & vice versa.
THE FAMILY (contd.)
• We believe in the sanctity of marriage. Every
sexual need should be met in the marriage
institution.
• Order: Christ is the head of the man, and the
man is the head of the home.
The man is the:
• Priest
• Protector and the
• Provider in the family.
THE FAMILY (contd.)
• The woman submits to, supports and helps
her husband in all things.
• The children submit to both parents according
to the injunction of the Holy Bible.
• Singlehood is a time to serve God (Eccl. 12:1).
We encourage our singles to live pure and
holy lives, free from all forms of sexual
immorality.
THE FAMILY (contd)
• All members of and workers (especially, house-helps)
in the Family should be treated with dignity, respect
and love. We forbid all forms of abuse, including but
not limited to, verbal, physical, mental/emotional
and sexual abuse.
2. LOVE
We are called to demonstrate the
unconditional (Agape) love of God to one
another. (John 13:35)
We demonstrate this love in the following
ways:
LOVE (contd.)
1. Caring: No matter how large we get as a church,
through the care groups, we will always be small
enough to care for every member.
2. Sharing: “But whoever has this world's goods,
and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart
from him, how does the love of God abide in him?”
– I John 3:17.
This is our mandate as a church. We must be willing
to give and also to receive.
LOVE (contd.)
3. Celebrating One Another: We celebrate one
another by making occasions like birthdays,
anniversaries, dedications, funerals etc., special
and memorable. This means we greatly enjoy
one another’s company
“My little children, let us not love in word or in
tongue, but in deed and in truth.”- I John 3:18
3. EXCELLENCE
Our God is an excellent God and deserves the best.
In Family Worship Centre, we are deliberate and
thorough in everything we do.
Philippians 1:10 – “That you may approve the
things that are excellent, that you may be sincere
and without offense till the day of Christ”.
We push for 100% in our service to God – David
said, “I will not give to God that which COSTS me
nothing.”
Excellence (contd.)
Nothing about us should be average or
mediocre.
The secret to excelling in life is in the pursuit of
excellence – Proverbs 22:29
“GOOD BETTER BEST, MAY I NEVER REST, UNTIL
MY GOOD IS BETTER AND MY BETTER BEST!”
4. INTEGRITY
We believe that Christians should uphold high
moral principles and virtues like honesty,
transparency, sincerity, accountability etc;
We must be people who say what they mean and
mean what they say. People who are the same at
home and in church. “Let your life be your message,
the only bible somebody will read.”
“The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but
the willful…crookedness of the treacherous will
destroy them.” (Poverbs11:3 amp.)
5. COMMITMENT

you will, but that you are committed in the
following ways;
•Commit to love God by seeking Him First daily.
Plan to spend a minimum of one hour daily in
praise, studying your Bible and prayers.
•Commit to fellowship by attending church
programs.
COMMITMENT (Contd.)
• Commit to leadership by being in a ministry where you
are of service to others.
• Commit to a Lifestyle of Evangelism. Aim to lead at
least two people to Christ every year. (friends, families,

set authorities - Parents, Church Authority, Civil

• Commit to a Dignified Public Life. Your testimony at
home, work, church and elsewhere should be worthy
of the Lord and consistent.
COMMITMENT (Cont)
• Commit to being a giver. Don’t exempt yourself
from opportunities to be a blessing.

Christian no matter what. Live above
circumstances.

simple, modest lives. Shun evil and covetousness.

6. STEWARDSHIP
• We are stewards of our earthly possessions;
talents, resources, finances, etc. We will all give
an account of how we managed these resources.
• We believe that God wants to prosper you.
However, as a church, it is important to us that
you make your money honestly.
• We believe that money is a tool in establishing
the kingdom of God and must not be worshipped.
Matthew 6:24 – “You cannot serve God and
mammon.”
STEWARDSHIP (cont)
• We believe that wealth should be gathered slowly.
• In Family Worship Centre, tithes and offerings are not
an option. All members are expected to give all their
tithes all the time.
• Savings and Investment. A Family Worship Center
member should cultivate the habit of keeping a
minimum of 10% of his income in savings and/or make
wise and profitable investments.
• Debts. Get out of debts, stay out of debts and be
content.
