Above all else we value the presence of God.  Our founding aim was to build a church where he is pleased to dwell.  It still is.  His presence is everything to us.  In his presence the Kingdom of God breaks in, the prophetic flows and there is healing, freedom, salvation and fullness of joy!

Additionally, in common with other PIH churches, we have church values which affect how we ‘do’ church.  They are:

Father’s love revealed through Jesus

Intimacy, Presence and Hearing God’s voice

Restoration of the Heart and Soul

Extending the Kingdom through the equipping, empowering and anointing of the Holy Spirit

An explanation of each of these ‘FIRE’ values can be found below.  We believe these values reflect the heart of God for his body at this time; namely a rediscovery of the Father heart of God.  This is the ‘essence’ of the present move of the Holy Spirit.  Our desire is for the FIRE values to be at the heart of everything we are and everything we do.  For this reason we strongly encourage all our members to complete our values course.

Father’s Love revealed through the Lord Jesus Christ.

God so loved the world that he sent his son, Jesus.  Jesus said he was the way to the Father.  We can know and experience the Father’s love for us tangibly and experientially through friendship with Jesus.

Intimacy, Presence and Hearing God’s Voice.

God knows everything about us, and still loves us!  So we can be totally real with him.  We can hear his voice speaking to us, know his presence with us every day and experience real intimate relationship.  This is what every human being is made for.

Restoration of the Heart and Soul.

When we receive Jesus we receive eternal life and forgiveness of sin immediately.  But as we grow he shows us areas of our lives that need changing or healing so that we might know him better and become the person he created us to be.  We are committed to seeing this restoration happen in an ongoing way in our lives.

Extending the Kingdom through the Equipping, Empowering and Anointing of the Holy Spirit.

This blessing is not just to keep for ourselves.  God longs that all might be saved.  With the Holy Spirit’s help and in the Father’s love we need to lead people to Jesus.  The River of God needs to flow!
