For God’s glory and through the power of the Holy Spirit, Doxa Church exists to make disciples who love and follow Jesus Christ.

1. Faithful Bible Teaching: Scripture is God’s Word, our authority for life and ministry. It holds a central place in the individual Christian life and in all our ministries, including Sunday morning where we read, pray, sing, and expositionally preach the Word.

2. Whole-life Worship: Scripture commands us to offer our lives as worship, doing all things to God’s glory. Worship involves head, heart, and hands. Our corporate worship aims to be God-exalting, Christ-centered, and theologically sound, including a weekly observation of the Lord’s Supper.

3. Loving Community: Following the “one another” commands of the New Testament, we seek to build and maintain committed, loving relationships of mutual care, service, and edification. While applicable at the whole church level, these are particularly cultivated through our small group ministry and intentional individual relationships.

4. Deep Discipleship: Through our ministries and our relationships with each other, our goal is to “present everyone mature in Christ” (Colossians 1:28), connecting the gospel to every area of life. We pursue this through Sunday worship services, medium-sized gatherings, small groups, and one-to-one relationships.

5. Faithful Evangelism: We believe the gospel is “the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes” (Romans 1:17). We therefore seek, as a church and as individuals, to compellingly and lovingly invite and persuade unbelievers to receive God’s free gift of salvation through faith in Christ.

6. Trusting Prayer: We are dependent on God to meet all our needs and to empower all our ministries, therefore we are committed to giving him thanks, seeking his will, and asking his help.

7. Godly Leadership: God calls and provides godly men to the church as Christ’s undershepherds, to teach, protect, correct, guide, and pray for the flock. We value the responsibility of servant leadership by both men and women, and we seek to model and promote it through all the church’s leadership structures and positions, including raising up leaders for the future.

8. Shared Ministry: God has gifted for and called each believer into ministry. Therefore, we seek to equip, train, and mobilize each member to ministry within the church and in the community.
   
   
9. Kingdom Perspective: We are only a small part of what God is doing in the world. As we have opportunity, we partner with other like-minded churches and organizations in the advance of the gospel and the multiplication of churches.
