Our Team & Values

Our team has been chosen based on the 3 C's {Character, Chemistry, Competency}

CHARACTER
Our team has high integrity in every area of their lives,
this includes ongoing open accountability with the team as a whole, as well as TFH Leadership.

CHEMISTRY
Each member must carry the vision and passion of The Fathers House, Tfh.org (click here)
This is carried down as the same vision for our ministry.
Our motto is: "There is no I in TEAM"
Each member must also carry a passion and dedication to help people get set free from their past,
and to equip them with the desire and tools they need to pay it forward.

COMPETENCY
We believe competency is a process and that, with the above attributes competency can be learned by a desire for excellence and a daily willingness to die to self.
