God First
At FH we believe that God alone is worthy to be pursued and prized above all else. He is our priority. We also believe that God Himself is the source of all the life that we thrive from.
Therefore, we value Him first before programmes, practices and even the needs of people! This means His Person, Presence, Gospel, Scriptures, worship, prayer and creating space for people to encounter God powerfully, is everything.
Moreover, we are a Spirit-led and Spirit-empowered people, taking our cue from God’s leading. We lean into the Spirit for His guidance as He dynamically prompts us through the course of life. We are especially convinced that people who encounter God, change, and begin to transform society.
Family
At FH because we treasure God First, we know that His people are very, very precious to Him. We believe that family is the purest reflection of the essence of the Trinity. At creation we were birthed from family to be His family upon the earth. In the new creation, Jesus restores us to be His family once more.
Therefore, we want to be a healthy, growing and multiplying family impacting the world where everyone is loved and cherished like God cherishes His family. We are not a business, we are not a marketing organisation, we are a family on a mission with Jesus to see His kingdom come powerfully! We value qualities such as intimacy, unconditional love, forgiveness, care, community, connection, and relationship.
We are to be a safe place for each other, serving and supporting one another. At FH we believe that family takes care of family, so we all take ownership and responsibility for the community
Honour
At FH we believe Jesus has restored all believer’s intrinsic worth through His ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension. Therefore, we aim to value everyone for who they are in Christ! This means we treasure each other’s God-given design and we live to nurture one another’s God-given destiny.
Here we want to recognize God’s unique grace on each other, learning from what people carry around us and giving our lives to see each other thrive for the Glory of God and the good of humanity.
Moreover, this also means we cherish relationship and connection regardless of differences of opinions and opposing views. Honour means we fight for connection in our relationships while we pursue God’s mandate!
Authenticity
At FH we believe that Jesus lived an authentic, real life representing God the Father honestly, and exactly. Therefore, we want to keep our journey real. Real God, real life, real grace, real love, real power, real people.
No Masks, no religious pretense and posturing! Everyone must feel safe with us, dropping their guards and protection mechanisms to discover more of Jesus and become who He has designed them to be! We believe that living with authenticity enables this. We value honesty, transparency, vulnerability, being open and living truthfully.
Courageous faith
At FH we believe Christianity is, indeed, synonymous with faith. So, we want to be bold and courageous in our expectation of what God wants to do.
No hiding behind the ordinary, mediocre, and comfortable; rather, positioning ourselves and stretching our hearts to believe God for remarkable things! The things only He can do! Therefore, we value risk, courage, boldness, always expecting more, and dreaming that the impossible will become possible.
We value being radical, never settling down, and shunning comfort zones as we follow God on His adventure for us.
Generosity
At FH we believe God is abundance. From Creation, the Cross, to the Consummation of this age, He is exceedingly and extravagantly generous. Because this is who He is, we want to be generous along this journey.
To be generous is to look like God! We aim to be generous with all God has favoured us with from our time, gifting, homes, possessions, to finances, actions, and words.
We want to be givers not takers, sowing ourselves for the benefit of others! We prize joyful, sacrificial giving. We believe we are blessed to be a blessing, knowing there is always enough and that there is always room for another person at the table!
Multiplication
At FH we believe that all healthy things in the kingdom grow. So, we do not want to keep it safe and small for the sake of building a big gathering type church. From boardrooms to far off beaches, we want to fill the earth with grace.
That means we want to grow, increase, and produce fruit that fills society whether with people, gifts, wisdom, ministries, divine strategies, or new church plants. We want to establish beachheads of kingdom light and life in every sphere of society! Therefore, we value discipleship and reproducing healthy Jesus followers.
We treasure maturity, equipping and empowering all to be and live like Jesus in this world, in all areas of life. This is our greatest legacy gift to humankind.
Going
At FH we believe God is intrinsically the God of mission. Mission is essentially His nature. Jesus is the champion of mission, and His commission is simple: go and make apprentices of Jesus everywhere, in all of life.
This means we are to be a pioneering people, seeking to go beyond our comforts, cares and concerns, cities, and borders, establishing beachheads of light and life in every sphere of society. This is ‘going’ with Jesus every day on His mission and being ready to go anywhere with Jesus for His glory and the good of humanity.
So, we value church planting as the sustainable instrument of global discipleship. Moreover, we value every person in FH as a missionary, and every moment is an opportunity to advance His kingdom! We value living beyond self, beyond borders, beyond comforts. We value mission and transformation from our next-door neighbours to all ethnic groups.
