Our Ministry Principles and Practices

• We define the ministry of evangelism as loving others, consistently and unconditionally, with the love of Jesus Christ, expecting nothing in return.

• We believe that the initiation and pursuit of quality, caring, lasting relationships grounded in the divine love of Jesus Christ, is foundational to all effective, Christian ministry.

• We believe that all Christians are to grow spiritually in Christ that they may be guided to profess their faith openly and become engaged in life transforming ministry with others.

• We believe that clergy and laity leaders are to consistently and passionately pursue spiritual maturity and effectiveness in ministry.

• We believe that God intends for every Christian to discern and discover their spiritual gifts and unique calling from God. They are to strive to live as faithful disciples in harmony with their spiritual gifts and calling from God in the context of Christian Community.

• We believe that God desires for all persons to discover the joy of Christian Community, and we train churches to provide consistent opportunities for Christian Fellowship as a primary ministry priority.

• We consistently strive to enable ALL Christians to overcome fear, which paralyzes and prevents sharing in life-transforming ministries. We teach this victory through scripture, coupled with modeling of ministry in real life settings and circumstances.

• We are committed to train Christians in the ministries of healing and reconciliation, by scriptural teaching and ministry experience.

• We bring waves of creativity and possibility in ministry to local churches as we work with them in long term, ministry covenants.

• We spiritually motivate, enable, equip and empower both clergy and laity to increase risking themselves in ministry beyond their present limitations.
