We will honor our commitments, keep our word, and avoid any behavior that could dishonor our ministry or the Gospel message. We will prioritize ethical practices in our financial dealings, collaborations, and representations of our work.
2. HOLINESS – We will dedicate ourselves to a lifestyle of purity, prayer, and devotion, recognizing that our lives are a testimony of God’s grace.

We will encourage accountability within our community, promoting spiritual growth and mutual support.
3. GODLY CHARACTER – We will exhibit the fruits of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—in all interactions. We will strive to reflect Christ’s love in our relationships, oYering forgiveness, grace, and understanding to others. We will uphold truth and righteousness in our art, ensuring that our messages align with Biblical principles.
4. HUMILITY – We will recognize that our talents and opportunities are gifts from God and will use them to glorify Him, not to seek personal fame or recognition. We will honor and respect others in the industry, valuing their contributions and refraining from prideful or competitive attitudes. We will be open to correction, growth, and collaboration, understanding that God’s work is greater than any individual.
5. WORSHIP – We will center our work and lives on glorifying God, making worship the foundation of our artistry and ministry. We will encourage others to experience the presence of God through our music, words, and actions. We will ensure that our content and performances point people to Christ, fostering environments where God is magnified.
