The core values of J316 The Band reflect our commitment to sharing the message of Jesus, staying true to biblical truth, and using music to bring hope and salvation to the world. These beliefs guide everything we do and are the driving force behind our mission to boldly stand for Christ.

1. Jesus at the Center: We believe in Jesus as the center of everything we do—not in religion, but in a personal relationship with Him, who offers salvation and eternal life.
   • “For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.'” (Acts 17:28, NKJV)
   • Application: Everything we do is built on Jesus. Every song, message, and action is aimed at honoring Him and drawing others into a personal relationship with Him.
2. The Transformative Power of Music: We believe in the power of music to transform lives, bringing people closer to Christ and sharing a message of hope in a world full of distractions.
   • “Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.” (Ephesians 5:19, NKJV)
   • Application: We use music as a means to speak to the hearts of people and lead them toward the light of Christ. We strive to create melodies that resonate deeply and touch souls searching for truth and peace.
3. The Sacrifice of Love on the Cross: We believe in Jesus' sacrifice on the cross as the ultimate expression of love, grace, and redemption. Through His blood, we have received the gift of eternal life.
   • “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8, NKJV)
   • Application: Every song is an opportunity to remember this immense love. We proclaim the cross and its power to change lives, reminding everyone that Jesus paid the price to give us salvation.
4. Bringing the Message to All Nations: We believe in the importance of spreading the message of Christ to all nations, using a fusion of musical styles to connect with different cultures and open new ways of worship and reflection.
   • “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:19, NKJV)
   • Application: Our music knows no boundaries. Through various genres and rhythms, we reach people from different cultural backgrounds, bringing the message of Christ to every corner of the world.
5. Faithful to Biblical Truth: We believe in being conservative in our faith, staying true to the teachings of the Bible and proclaiming the truth of Jesus Christ in every song and message we share.
   • “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16, NKJV)
   • Application: In every musical message, we commit to being faithful to the Scriptures. Our music is an extension of our faith in God's Word, without straying from its truth.
6. Making a Difference with Bold Faith: We believe in making a real difference in the world, not just creating music, but boldly declaring our faith and the message of salvation found only in Christ.
   • “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.” (Romans 1:16, NKJV)
   • Application: We don't just sing; we boldly proclaim the gospel with conviction. Our mission is not just to entertain but to impact lives for God's Kingdom, being a light in the midst of darkness.
