CORE VALUES
We value simplicity. Everything we do is rooted in our purpose to help people know God, grow in His love, and show His love to others. At Impact, we believe these core values help shape who we are as we seek to be more and more like Jesus Christ.
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."
- Galatians 5:22-23
INTIMATE WORSHIP
Charles Stanley describes worship as "all that we are responding to all that He is." We believe worship is demonstrated in multiple ways throughout the week, and we are convinced that intimate worship to an amazing God is commanded and beneficial to live life to the fullest.
MULTIPLY DISCIPLES
Discipleship is simply following after Jesus with everything we have. It is growing spiritually to the point of living out our God-given purpose and potential. Discipleship is accomplished through various means, but the end result is always mature Christ followers who are passionately seeking after God. Our passion is to help mold people into disciples who help mold others into disciples. We aren’t as interested in the addition of disciples as we are in the quality multiplication of disciples.
PRACTICAL TEACHING
We believe it is much easier to follow Christ if the teachings of Scripture and Biblical principles are applicable. It is imperative to study the truth of God, but it is even more important to understand it and know how to live it out in our everyday lives.
ABUNDANTLY GENEROUS
Because one of God’s characteristics is to give generously, we feel compelled to do the same. It is our heart to always be mindful of the needs of others and to generously give of our time, money and skills when possible. We truly care about people, and one of the greatest ways to portray that love is though sincere generosity.
COMMUNITY MINDED
We are passionate about about making a Kingdom difference in the community. It is our desire to create meaningful relationships that bring about life change. We want to be a pillar among Harlem that stands as a "city on a hill" that lights up the area for Jesus.
THEOLOGICALLY GROUNDED
Everything we do is grounded in the truth of the Word of God. We are serious about those truths, and we will always hold fast to its unquestionable and unchanging inspiration. We may engage in practical teaching and modern methods, but we will always remain theologically sound and accurate.
