Our Founding Principles
Great expectancy from God: God is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us (Ephesians 3:20/NIV)
Authentic relationship building small communities: All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved (Acts 2:44-47/NIV)
Every believer is a minister: But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light (1 Peter 2:9/NIV)
Faith-based tentmaker ministry: Nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to make ourselves a model for you to follow (2 Thessalonians 3:8-9/NIV) |
