The Core Values are done! Thank you to the Pastor Search Committee who completed the core values and their descriptions on Saturday, October 4, 2025. You can find the Core Values listed below.
WAPC will be having a Town Hall meeting where you can ask questions of the Advisory Board and the Equipping Leaders consultant, Steven Beardsley, regarding the Leadership Transition process and the Core Values. The Town Hall will be held on Sunday evening, October 12 at 6 pm. Plan to attend.
Remember: While this work seems slow, it is essential to the process of properly presenting to prospective pastoral candidates who WAPC is and also to developing a pastoral profile of what WAPC is looking for in a pastor.
The Core Values
Worship
We worship God with authenticity, sincerity, and freedom—expressing our love through enthusiastic praise. Whether through raised hands, singing, dancing, giving, or even running, our worship is a genuine response to His grace and a wholehearted offering to the Lord.
Discipleship
Discipleship is a lifelong journey of growth and development, strengthened through fellowship. We teach, mentor, and involve every believer in understanding and living God’s Word, so together we become faithful witnesses and mature followers of Christ.
Love
We believe love is the foundation of all we do. We walk in unity and love as one family, committed to support of and submission to one another as we serve, uplift, and sacrifice for our community—reflecting the heart of Christ and bringing glory to God.
Prayer
We believe in the power of radical prayer and fasting as a bold expression of faith—rooted in dependence on God. Through personal devotion and corporate intercession, we routinely seek His anointing, guidance, and transformation, trusting that as we humble ourselves, He moves, aligns our hearts with His will, and empowers us for His work.
Apostolic
Grounded in the apostolic foundation of the New Testament Church, we embrace truth and holiness, teaching God’s Word and nurturing fellowship as we live a lifestyle that reflects Christ—impacting our community and advancing His Kingdom with faithfulness and love.
