Our Core Values

We Prayerfully Value Scripture: The Bible is God's Word of life to the world. Through the Bible, we discern the voice and actions of God in human history. Through the Bible, we learn who we worship. From the worship of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, we learn how to live as citizens of His kingdom on earth. 

​

We Prayerfully Value Pentecost: The Holy Spirit has called the IPHC to be a people who live and walk in the Spirit. We believe all the gifts of the Spirit are active today. We believe the Holy Spirit empowers the body of Christ corporately and individually to fulfill the mission of God on the earth. 

​

We Prayerfully Value Holiness: Holiness is beautiful. God chose us and set us apart for His glory. Our lifestyles reflect the character of the God who called us to Himself. We believe that He calls us to be holy in order to reveal His grace, mercy, and love to a broken world. 

​

We Prayerfully Value Christ's Kingdom: We know that Christ rules over all creation. Our call is to manifest the reality of His reign. By serving our communities, embracing diversity, and reaching the lost, we embody Christ's kingdom on earth. 

​

We Prayerfully Value All Generations: We celebrate all generations and acknowledge that each is essential in the body of Christ. We honor those who have gone before us and empower those who are following. The contribution of each generation is welcomed and encouraged as we pursue our God-given destiny. 

​

We Prayerfully Value Justice: As a church, we are called to corporately and individually see justice established. We intercede for those who have no voice. We stand with the poor, the weak, and the oppressed. We will not be silent in the face of injustice. We will be a place of hope. 

​

We Prayerfully Value Generosity: All of our resources, whether material or spiritual, are gifts from a living God. We do not live fearfully based on our lack. We live gracefully based on God's provision. We commit ourselves to be obedient as tithers, joyful in giving, and generous in heart. As he gave, so shall we give.
