ELIM CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP PRINCIPLES FOR A KINGDOM BUILDING MINISTRY - The 5 W's

The Word: ECF believes that faith cannot be cultivated without the Word of God (Romans 10:17). The preaching of the Word is necessary for salvation.

The Witness: We are called to make disciples and help others follow and fall in love with Christ. We must be intentionally, socially and politically conscious when standing up and against all fear and/or injustice.

The Worship: Prayer: We are to pray without ceasing and cultivate a consistent and an intimate relationship with God. Praise: We should joyfully express our love, gratitude and honor to God. Our worship should be reflective, rewarding, relevant and rich. ECF believe in a liturgical order of worship which includes scripture reading, hymns, praise, prayer and proclamation.

The Way: The early believers in the first century church would often say they were "on the way," or they were "part of the way." The "way" had something to do with standards and principals. Jesus wants us to either choose the narrow way or follow God's way; His beliefs, concepts and truths. ECF believes in upholding the Biblical principles and standards of the Word of God. We want to do God's way.

The Wealth: ECF believes in economic stability and development. The blessings of the Lord make us rich. We should live well, whole and healthy.
