Who We Are
City Bible Church is a friendly, happy, family church made up of Christians from different backgrounds, races, language groups and nationalities as we unite in loving, serving and worshiping God.
City Bible Church is an inter-dependent Christian church where we believe that the Bible is the infallible Word of the living God, and is therefore the set standard regarding our faith, doctrine, conduct and life, thus governing all our activities at City Bible Church.
City Bible Church is also in fellowship with other like-minded Ministries and is affiliated with TCN.
Our Values
The Cambridge Dictionary defines values as “the beliefs people have, especially about what is right and wrong and what is most important in life, that control their behaviour”.
Values are principles, beliefs, and standards that form the boundaries that determine our character and influence our decision-making, choices, behaviour and life, which affects our relationship with God and relationships with people.
As Christians, our values are defined and based on the Bible, the Word of God. Thus, at City Bible Church, we highly esteem the following values, and when embraced, will greatly equip believers for successful Christian living and service.
Our Personal Relationship With God
Every church member’s personal relationship with God in Prayer, Worship, and Bible study is of utmost importance. The greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart.
Mark 12:30 “And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength”. This is the first commandment.
The second greatest commandment is to love our neighbour.
Mark 12:31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
A Holy Spirit begotten climate of God’s love is that atmosphere which most readily meets all needs.
The Word
As Believers, we hold the Bible, the Word of God, as the full and final authority for faith, doctrine, conduct, and life. Therefore, at City Bible Church we aim to establish every Believer in the Word.
The Holy Spirit
The presence, gifts, leading, and the empowering and equipping work of the Holy Spirit in our church service, in our worship and in the life of the believer is greatly treasured and respected.
Faith
Without faith in action, a believer cannot please or receive anything from God. Every Believer is encouraged to be established in faith and to build up their faith to the glory of God.
Christlikeness
Every Believer is called by God to grow, mature, and to develop into Christlike maturity, into adulthood, in character, conduct, faith and Christian walk.
Willingness & Obedience
Being willing and obedient to God, the Word, the Holy Spirit and to the upward call of God is the key to a happy, fulfilled and fruitful Christian life.
Victory
God called every Believer to live a life of victory and triumph and not to a life of bondage and defeat. Therefore, at City Bible Church, we aim to equip believers to live a life of victory to the glory of God.
The Family
The family unit has high priority, being held together and built on the principles of God’s Word.
Integrity
Humbly walking in honesty, truthfulness, and uprightness is highly valued.
Racial Harmony
Ethnic diversity is respected, yet all Believers are called to live and to abide by the values and virtues of the Kingdom of God, and to the principles of God’s Word. In the same manner, no discrimination is made between male and female, both sexes have a valuable contribution to make to the body of Christ.
Responsibility / Accountability
Every Believer is to take up the responsibility and be accountable for one’s faith, doctrine, conduct and life, which will facilitate spiritual growth in the believer.
These values, when present, will equip and empower believers to live a victorious Christlike Christian life and enhance their ability and effectiveness in touching people’s lives and in accomplishing the goal and vision that God gave us to fulfil.
Ministry
Worshiping God is our primary ministry as believers, and is pursued with biblically motivated zeal and offered in reverence with humility.
