Our Core Values:

This is what we practice:

Pentecostal experience.

We believe the activity of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer is the same as it was in the book of Acts. Although we are saved by faith alone in the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, it is the work of the Holy Spirit that gifts, anoints, and strengthens the believer for effective Christian living.

Right Living.

We believe the only way possible to live the Christian life is by God's power within us. So we seek to practice a daily dependence on God's Spirit to enable us to do what is right.

Ambassadors for Christ.

It is the responsibility of every Christian to share the Good News with those with whom God brings us into contact. We practice personal sharing about Christ and inviting friends to church.

Caring for one another.

Because we are a family, we belong to each other.

Tithes and offerings.

At Meadows Fellowship we practice tithing for the support of Christ's body, the church, as God commands. We recognize that giving 10% of our income is the Biblical standard of giving.

Immersion and communion.

We practice baptism by immersion under water - the way Jesus was baptized, and the way the Bible commands.

Celebrate with passion.

We believe it is healthy to be vocal and expressive in our worship to God. We enjoy expressing our love to God by clapping and raising of hands and singing with passion.

Every member is a minister.

The Bible teaches that every Christian is called to "full time" Christian service, regardless of his or her vocation. We practice the truth that every believer is a minister by encouraging every member to find a place of service and ministry. Every believer has direct access to God through prayer and Bible reading.
