We value God’s global heart and are committed to intentionally giving, going, and praying; giving to mission projects and missionaries, going to make disciples of all nations, and praying for every tribe, tongue and nation to know Jesus; till He comes again.

We value the work and manifestation of the Holy Spirit in our midst. We welcome the Gifts of the Spirit and embrace them without fear or hesitancy but with boldness and eagerness. We long for the fruit of the Spirit to be worked into our lives to establish strong character. We regularly have people experience the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the deeper work of purification through the Baptism of Fire, the testing of our faith.

We value God’s diversity as seen through His creation. We value people (the various talents, the different callings, and the uniqueness of personalities) believing that we can all be united under Christ’s Lordship and used to collectively reveal Jesus to the world. We value loving groups of people from all around the world and the cultures each of us bring as we all gather together.

We value personal daily personal prayer and corporate intercessory prayer for the lives of students, the EMU community, Universities in Michigan, and various needs around the world. We believe students are to be equipped with an understanding of prayer and why prayer is so vital.

We value becoming a people who follow Christ in speech, in life, and in every life context; whether family, work, school, community, or recreation. We are a group found caring for our neighbors as we care for ourselves. We believe we are to always see our lives, resources, and talents as vital and foremost to building the Kingdom one person at a time through every means possible.

We value unified, relational living with the body, the EMU community of believers and EMU as a whole. We believe that a healthy community must build relationships that are loving, real, open, and Christ-honoring with each other and that this will ultimately affect the community at EMU.
