The Values of
ARC Global Churches
Our values shape our culture, which we strive to embody wholeheartedly.
We Are Active!
In Discipleship
1 Corinthians 4:17 (ESV) 17 That is why I sent you Timothy, my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, to remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach them everywhere in every church.
We identify two elements of discipleship: (1) building a strong foundation in sound doctrine and (2) emulating Christian living. We are devoted to the elders teachings and are accountable, as the elders will have to give an account for everyone under their care (Hebrews 13:17).
In Evangelism
Romans 1:15-16 (ESV) 15 So I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Our mission is to spread the message of Jesus to all corners of the world. We dedicate ourselves to praying for people to experience salvation through Christ and actively seize every chance to share our faith and proclaim the gospel (Colossians 4:3-4).

We Are Responsible!
Through Generosity
Deuteronomy 8:18 (ESV) 18 You shall remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
We believe that tithing, while rooted in Old Testament tradition, is a principle which remains relevant to the church today. Acknowledging that all our financial and material blessings come from God, we express our gratitude by setting aside the initial 10% of our income to our local church. Tithing serves as a foundational practice of our financial giving, and we aspire to give generously beyond the tithe, as modelled in the New Testament (Acts 4:34-35 and 2 Corinthians 8:3).
Through Serving
Ephesians 4:12 (ESV) 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,
We believe that every member of the church is an active participant and has unique gifts received from God (1 Peter 4:10). These gifts should be used for the building up of the church and to bring glory to God (1 Corinthians 14:26, 1 Peter 4:11). Our members serve Jesus by serving one another and are willing to serve in any capacity they are called and needed.

We Are Community!
Built on Jesus
Colossians 3:13-14 (ESV) 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
Following Christ involves dedicating ourselves to serve His purposes. Christ exemplified love, grace, and forgiveness, and we seek to emulate these qualities in our daily lives. We prioritise regular gatherings as a church community, which can sometimes lead to conflicts and disagreements. However, our motivation is always to act in love, pursue reconciliation, and extend forgiveness. We value the importance of community and acknowledge our need for one another (1 Corinthians 12:26).
Built on the Bible
2 Timothy 3:16 (ESV) 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
The Bible is not a book that has become outdated. Rather, it serves as our ultimate and final authority, which can either support or challenge our culture. Thus, our traditions, experiences, and reasoning must all be subject to an accurate interpretation of the Bible which governs our thoughts and actions.
