OLM values

By the grace of God, we are a church which is:
  • Bible-believing 
  • Spirit-led
  • Christ-centred
  • People-loving
  • Soul-winning
  • Purpose-driven
  • Vision-focused
The core values that we share and extract from our vision and mission statement are as follows (not necessarily in order of importance). We pray that the whole church acquire (assimilate) them. We value...
  1. The Word of God: The Bible is our manual for life. For us the word “BIBLE” is a short for “Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth”. (Psalm 119:9-11; 2Timothy 3:16; Galatians 1:8)

  2. Family: Family is God’s institution. It is the nucleus of society. We respect and uphold the purity of marriage and upbringing of children according to God’s Word. (Ephesians 3:14-15; Hebrews 13:4; Matthew 19:4-6; Deuteronomy 6:6-9; Proverbs 22:6)

  3. Prayer: to pray through & breakthrough (Psalm 2:8; James 5:15 & 16)

  4. Passionate evangelism: bringing out the relevance and practical nature of the gospel through relationships and every way possible. (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts1:8)

  5. Wholeness: every person should be restored; spirit, soul and body (1Thessalonians 5:23-24)

  6. The pioneer spirit: excellence, creativity and innovation (Genesis 1:28; Proverbs 18:15, Galatians 6:4; 1Corinthians 3:13)

  7. Gift-oriented ministry: we value people’s giftedness (Romans 12:6; 1Peter 4:10; Proverbs 18:16)

  8. Teamwork: every individual is important and makes a unique contribution that can not be ignored. (1Cor.12:27; Genesis 11:6; Ecclesiastes 4:9; Matthew 18:18-20;)

  9. People: ethnic equality & diversity. We value all people equally. The ground is level at the Cross of Calvary (Acts 10:34-35)

  10. Balanced life: healthy living covers the spiritual, mental, social and physical dimensions (Luke 2:52; 2Timothy 3:16)

  11. Tithes (giving): a spirit of generosity (Deuteronomy 15:10; Malachi 3:10; 2 Corinthians 9:8; Galatians 6:6; Luke 6:38)

  12. Commitment: we value wholehearted commitment to God, to one another and to service; (Galatians 6:8-10; Colossians 3:17; Acts 13:36; Galatians 5:13-14)

  13. Inspirational worship services: The coming together of believers in worship brings the manifest presence of God in their midst. (Acts 2:47; Acts 10:44-45)
