FAMILY MODEL: We desire to live in fellowship in a family model within the visible Kingdom of God, the church. This unique life-on-life model will call for a period of commitment from disciples and disciple makers to meet and live together for the glory of God. This may or may not include literally living together in the same home. Most often it will involve intentionally scheduling time to experience regular Christian life together over a range of two to three years. We expect members and leaders to see and learn about marriage by being in the homes of married couples; to experience parenting by spending time with parents and their children; to experience work by working together; to experience evangelism and disciple-making by evangelizing together and making disciples together. The model will follow the order of Learn, Do, Teach.
FOCUSED DISCIPLESHIP: We desire to develop each disciple with the five key elements of the Christian life:
Bible Study
Prayer
Worship
Service
Stewardship
MULTIPLICATION/REPEATABLE STRUCTURE: We desire to see the Kingdom of God multiply as Christ fulfills His promise to call all of His sheep out of every nation, tribe, and tongue before His glorious physical return. Our design is built around the missional community model Jesus presented in His three-year ministry to begin His church. This model can be incorporated within churches, denominations, and in church planting strategies. We plan to equip each disciple with the skills and support needed to branch out as a disciple maker.
ART CATALYSTS: We want to use all gifts of our members, including the arts, to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to our world. Special focus will be given to incorporate our artists to fill the world with beauty as God has called us to for the edification and building of the church.
