The Lordship of Christ - We are committed to operating under the headship of Jesus Christ as Lord of the Church and to discovering and doing His will.

The Bible: God's Word - We believe the Word of God is without error. It works with the Spirit to equip and empower Christians for every good work.

Prayer - Everything Jesus said and did was birthed out of and bathed in prayer. The ARC itself was birthed out of prayer. We are committed to continually bathe all we say and do in prayer.

Radical Dependence on the Empowering Presence of the Holy Spirit - The ARC is a network in which the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit are celebrated, not merely tolerated. We are committed to fostering a radical dependence upon the Holy Spirit.

Revelatory Decision-Making - We choose to make decisions based on hearing God's voice. We believe we hear Him through His Word, prayer, fellow believers, circumstances, and personal encounter with the Holy Spirit.

The Empowering Grace of God - God's empowering grace enables Christians to live responsibly, victoriously, and in authentic relationship with one another.

Developing a Kingdom Mindset - God's people are to be transformed, equipped, and released to go wherever God sends them in the world on special assignment with Him.

Ministry to Forgotten Ones - The ministry of Jesus includes: Feed the poor. Clothe the naked. Heal the sick. Cast out demons. Kingdom ministry touches the poor and homeless, the outcast and abandoned, the disenfranchised and marginalized.   As we serve the forgotten ones, we recognize that we need them as much as they need us.

A Safe Place for the Dangerous Kind - We will be a safe place where people can live authentically as they are transformed by the outrageous love, empowering grace, and truth of God. We are committed to raising up dangerous people who are potent for the purposes of God and a threat to the enemy.  

Real Encounter not Religion - Kingdom citizens respond to the presence of God without constraint from historical or societal inhibitions. The ARC encourages leaders and congregations not to allow that which once blessed them now to bind them.
