At Fountain of Life Central City, the following values help us to accomplish our mission.  We value:

  • LOVE
    • We strive to do everything with love.  We recognize that we are not perfect in this, so we pray that the church and all its people would also be filled with grace, mercy, and forgiveness.
      • 1 Corinthians 13
  • THE WORD

    • We value the Word of God, the Bible.  We pray that the Word would guide, direct, and transform lives and that the truth of the Word would be known.  We also pray that any and all leaders would be guided by the Word and doers of the Word.
      • Psalm 119:105
      • James 1:22-25
  • POWER and PRAYER
    • We value the power of prayer and the power of the Holy Spirit.  We pray FOLCC would be a place of transformation, healing, freedom, deliverance, and victory in Christ.  We also pray that people would grow, understand, and operate in their God-given gifts.
      • Ephesians 6:10-18
  • RECONCILIATION
    • We value reconciliation between God and people (salvation) and between people and people.  We pray that FOLCC would truly embody being a multi-ethnic, multi-socioeconomic, multi-generational church that reflects the people of downtown Los Angeles and beyond.  We pray that people would build authentic, genuine relationships which would result in glorifying God and drawing others to the gospel.  With this, we pray that FOLCC would also be a church that seeks justice for its people.
      • 2 Corinthians 5:18-6:2
      • Deuteronomy 16:20

      • Romans 1:16-17
      • Matthew 28:18-20
  • LEADERSHIP
    • We value the development of Christ-like leaders who lead with integrity, wisdom, and humility.  We value praying for our current leaders as well as praying for God to continue to raise up new leaders.
      • Philippians 2:1-5
      • Hebrews 13:18
      • 1 Timothy 4:12
  • THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE
