At Amour Du Christ Church, everything we do flows from four core values. These values are not just words on a wall — they are the heartbeat of our congregation, aligned with the fourfold mission of the Christian & Missionary Alliance. They guide our preaching, our ministries, our community, and our mission to the world.
"Rather, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ."
Ephesians 4:15
01
Know Christ
VALUE 01 . OUR FOUNDATION
Knowing Christ means having a real and growing relationship with Jesus through His Word, prayer, obedience, worship, and daily fellowship with Him. It is our mandate to not only preach Christ, but preach the True Jesus, who is fully man and fully God.
"Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."
John 17:3
