Orange Alliance Church Core Values |
Because the winds of cultural change are blowing, we at the Orange Alliance Church desire to stand out as a place of refuge, security, and stability. We desire to be culturally relevant, and yet, at the same time, remain firmly established in the harbor of God's Truth as revealed in scripture. While change ensues all around us, we desire to make these values our distinctives. |

Christ Centered |
Scripturally Sound |
Pursuing a life fully devoted to the Lordship of Christ leads to purposeful living. Therefore, we desire to make Christ, who is the Head of the church, the central facet of our existence. |
We recognize Scripture as God's message to mankind and the source of all Truth. Therefore, it being the final authority of faith and patience, we will preach and teach it faithfully and without apology. |
Ephesians 1:22, John 10:10 |
2 Timothy 3:16-17
|
Persistent Prayer |
Family Affirming |
Prayer is one of the means by which mankind communes with God. Therefore, we aspire to be people who make prayer a way of life rather than an occasional act we perform. |
God's plan for the family, as instituted by Him, is to nurture people. Therefore, we desire to strengthen the family unit by restoring and promoting healthy relationships in the home. |
1 Thessalonians 5:17
|
Genesis 2:23-24 |
Authentic Worship |
Biblical Community |
God desires us to ascribe worth to Him alone with sincere hearts. Therefore God's people are to worship Him publicly in meaningful and relevant ways and individually as a living sacrifice in all aspects of life. |
Spiritual growth takes place best in the context of authentic relationships. Therefore, we desire to intentionally create opportunities for life-changing relationships to nurture and grow. |
Romans 12:1-2, John 4:23
|
Acts 2:42-46, Eph 4:15-16 |
Intentional Discipleship |
Ministry Minded |
God's desire for believers is Christ likeness. Therefore, we desire to seek ways to intentionally teach and show others how to follow Christ based on the gospel of His grace. |
God spared no expense to redeem humanity. Therefore,we desire to be good stewards of our time, talents and treasures living life with a ministry focus. |

Colossians 3:23-24

Lost People |
God's passion is for the whole world. Therefore, we desire to balance our evangelistic efforts between home and abroad in order to lead people into a love relationship with God. |
