Torchbearer Values
Discipleship
As disciples of Christ, we take up our crosses to follow Him, submitting everything to Him. As disciplemakers, we help others to learn how to walk with Him, grow in His character and equip them in their spiritual gifts and talents to fulfill God’s will for their lives.

Presence-Driven
As His children, we seek a greater degree of intimacy and awareness of God’s presence individually and corporately. We desire to lift up our lives as living worship, prostrating our hearts and minds to Him continually. It is in His presence where His love and power are manifested, where His mysteries are encountered and His miracles are unleashed.
