Core Values and
DNA
of
Blazing Fire Church
We value . . .

the One who loves us.

of our life with Him!
• We
pursue the Lord’s
presence always and in all things, seeking Him in
the midst of
...day-to-day life.
• As we gather together to worship, our primary passion will
always be to experience
...the Lord’s intimate presence.
• In our passionate pursuit of God there is freedom to express
our love for Him openly.

dwell, transforming our

16:12-14; Acts 1:5, 8; 1Corinthians 12:4-11, 14:26

to come in any way that He desires. We love
...and honor His presence
and we have rolled out the red carpet
to Him!
• We are open to all of the ways Holy Spirit touches people including
laughing, crying,
...falling to the floor, peaceful silence and any other
way He chooses
to do so.
• All of the gifts of the Spirit are part of our inheritance from the
Father.
• We provide a safe place in the Kingdom for people to experiment and
risk failure as
...they learn the ways of the Spirit.
