We value Growing & Equipping Leaders - therefore we seek to grow every believer towards their callings and gifting's through regular opportunities to study God's Word, pray and attend worship events (i.e.Threshold). Also, leadership development and ministry training weekly through one on one discipleship, Men's and Women's groups and through our monthly M25 training. Those led to devote themselves full-time to the Lord's service... eventually enter the MSP (Ministerial Study Program) offered through our affiliation with the C&MA.

We value accomplishing God's Mission - the "church" is a people on mission offering each one of us our time, talent and treasures toward the fulfillment of local and global outreach. We believe all mature believers should both "go" and "send" towards the mission. Acts 1:8... describes the movement we are joined to along with the first disciples. There we are called to go into our... Jerusalem (Bakersfield), Judea & Samaria (Nearby Cross-Culture) and the ends of the earth (all Nations).

We value Participation - where "every member is a minister" and where every person seeks to be involved in finding & developing the use of their individual gifts and love for the benefit of others both inward (our church) and outward (reaching lost and hurting people). We believe all participate in "being the church" verses simply "going to church" each Sunday.
