1. The Dream of the Evangelization of All Nations in This Generation
(Acts 13:47)
We believe in the urgent call to reach all people, in every nation, with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Acts 13:47 declares, “I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.” This is not just a dream—it is a divine mission entrusted to the church. We are committed to raising up missionaries, sending leaders, and equipping disciples to bring the good news to every tribe, language, and culture. Our generation has the tools, mobility, and opportunities like never before, and we choose to respond boldly to God’s global vision.
2. Discipling Is a Command of God, Not Optional
(Matthew 28:18–20)
The Great Commission is not a suggestion—it is a command. Jesus, with all authority in heaven and on earth, told His followers to “go and make disciples of all nations.” Discipleship is the core of Christian life. It involves teaching, mentoring, correcting, and walking with others as they grow in their relationship with God. We don’t simply aim to make converts; we are called to raise mature, devoted followers of Jesus who live out His teachings and multiply that faith in others. In our church, discipleship is not an event—it is a lifestyle.
3. A Central Leadership With a Central Leader
(Numbers 27:12–18; 1 Corinthians 4:15–17)
God is a God of order, and throughout Scripture, we see Him appointing central leaders to guide His people—from Moses to Joshua, and Paul in the early church. In Numbers 27, God selects Joshua to succeed Moses, ensuring clear leadership and unity among His people. In 1 Corinthians, Paul reminds the church to follow spiritual fathers who model the way of Christ. We believe that God works through spiritual authority and biblical leadership. A central leadership with a clear vision brings direction, accountability, and unity to the body of Christ, helping the church move powerfully and effectively.
4. Bible Church, Not Just a New Testament Church
(2 Timothy 3:14–17)
While many emphasize the practices of the early New Testament church, we believe in being a Bible church—grounded in the full counsel of God’s Word, from Genesis to Revelation. Paul reminds Timothy that “All Scripture is God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.” We study, preach, and live by the whole Bible, understanding that the Old Testament builds the foundation for the New, and together they reveal God’s heart, His character, and His eternal plan. Our doctrine, practices, and values are rooted in the totality of Scripture.
5. Speak Where the Bible Is Silent, and Be Silent Where the Bible Speaks
(Genesis 2:19)
In Genesis 2:19, God allowed Adam to name the animals, showing us that within God’s order, He gives humanity the freedom to act where He has not given explicit instruction. On the other hand, where God has spoken clearly, we must submit fully. This principle calls us to respect the authority of Scripture and not go beyond what is written. Where the Bible is clear, we obey without compromise. Where the Bible is silent, we exercise wisdom, unity, and love. This approach protects the church from legalism and man-made traditions while honoring God’s Word as the final authority.
