Our Core Values

Our three core values are identical to the three core values of the Canadian Chinese Christian Business & Professional Association (CCCBPA) as follows:

The Visibility of the Christian Faith

Christian faith not lived out is dead (James 2:2). Faith is not an abstraction or a belief. It must be visible in our behaviour and actions. Faith is personal but not a private matter. It involves our inner world as well as the outer world. It must be practised in the church, at home, in the playground and in the workplace. Faith is not a compartmentalized, fragmented concept. Our lives should not be divided into secular or sacred parts. Rather, it should be an integrated life of obedience to our Creator.

The Practice of Christian Priesthood

All Christians are priests of the gospel (Romans 15:16). We all are God's priests. Some are called to serve as priests inside the institution of the church while most of us are called to be God's priests outside. There is no higher or lower calling. God demands obedience from all of us. Christian workers are God's priests in the workplace. As priests of the gospel, we are required to witness for God at all times and "if necessary, use words".

The Importance of Good Deeds

Christians should shine for Christ with good deeds (Matthew 5:16). Facing a fast changing society with overt pagan practices, we tend to recoil and curse the darkness. However, the challenge for us is not to condemn our society but to contribute positively in Jesus' name. The purpose of our good deeds is not to get us to heaven but to show God's love to the people around us. As the saying goes, God does not need our good deeds but our neighbours do.
