Our Mission as a network of pastors, churches, chaplains, and disciple-makers is to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ and make new disciples in our cities, nation, and world.

Our Values as a network of disciple-makers are:

• Disciple-making: A passion to make new disciples and new disciple-makers.
• Relationships: A network of partners who are committed to the same mission.Investment in Pastors: Reach a city by investing in pastors and church planters.
• Sacrificial Giving: Give financially to advance disciple-making in local churches.
• Kingdom Mindedness: It’s about Jesus and expanding his Kingdom in our city.
• Passion for the City: A desire to reach the city and not just build a church.
  Networking: Help area pastors join together to advance the mission.

Our Strategy as a network of disciple-makers is:

• Local Centers: We prayerfully aspire to accomplish our mission through 10,000 local churches connected through 500 local centers.
• Healthy Churches: We strive to coach, resource and connect pastors to lead more effective disciple-making churches.
• Church Revitalization: We desire to support struggling churches to be revitalized and to thrive once more as churches that make disciple-makers.
• Church Planting: We aim to plant new and thriving disciple-making churches locally, nationally and internationally.

• The Trinity: We affirm that there is one God, infinite Spirit, creator of the universe in six historical days, and sustainer of all things, who exists eternally in three persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. These three are one in essence but distinct in person and function.
• God the Father: We affirm that the Father is the first person of the Trinity and the source of all that God is and does. From Him the Son is eternally generated and from Them the Spirit eternally proceeds. He is the designer of creation, the speaker of revelation, the author of redemption, and the sovereign of history.
• Jesus Christ, the Son of God: We affirm that the Lord Jesus Christ is the second person of the Trinity. Eternally begotten from the Father, He is God. He was conceived by the virgin Mary through a miracle of the Holy Spirit. He lives forever as perfect God and perfect man: two distinct natures inseparably united in one person.
• The Holy Spirit: We affirm that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, proceeding from the Father and Son and equal in deity. He is the giver of all life, active in the creating and ordering of the universe: He is the agent of inspiration and the new birth; He restrains sin and Satan; and He indwells and sanctifies all believers.
• Creation: We affirm that all things were created by God. Angels were created as ministering agents, though some, under the leadership of Satan, fell from their sinless state to become agents of evil. The universe was created in six historical days and is continuously sustained by God; thus it both reflects His glory and reveals His truth. Human beings were directly created, not evolved, in the very image of God. As reasoning moral agents, they are responsible under God for understanding and governing themselves and the world.
• The Scriptures: We affirm that the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, though written by men, was supernaturally inspired by God so that all its words are the written true revelation of God, it is therefore inerrant in the originals and authoritative in all matters. It is to be understood by all through the illumination of the Holy Spirit, its meaning determined by the historical, grammatical, and literary use of the author’s language, comparing Scripture with Scripture.
• Humanity: We affirm that God created humans as male and female in His image, and that life is to be respected and guarded from conception until natural death. As image bearers, they are responsible under God for understanding and governing themselves and the world. Adam, the first man, willfully disobeyed God having been tempted by Satan, bringing sin and death into the world. As a result, all persons are sinners separated from God due to their sin nature, which is evidenced in their willful acts of sin; and they are therefore subject to eternal punishment, under the just condemnation of a holy God.
• The Work of Christ: We affirm that Jesus Christ offered Himself as a sacrifice by the appointment of the Father. He fulfilled the demands of God by His obedient life, died on the cross in full substitution and payment for the sins of all, was buried, and on the third day He arose physically and bodily from the dead. He ascended into heaven where He now intercedes for all believers.
• Salvation: We affirm that each person can be saved only through the work of Jesus Christ, through repentance of sin and by faith alone in Him as Savior. The believer is declared righteous, born again by the Holy Spirit, turned from sin, and assured of heaven.
• The Church: We affirm that there is one church, the body and bride of Christ, and that it is expressed in local assemblies of baptized believers under the discipline of the Word of God and the lordship of Christ. Its mission is to glorify God by making disciples who love God and love people. It administers the ordinances of believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper. The church is led by pastors and deacons. It is self-governing and functions through the ministry of gifts given by the Holy Spirit to each member.
• Marriage and Family: We affirm that marriage is designed and instituted by God to unite one natural-born man and one natural-born woman in a lifetime covenant with Him and each other. It exists to foster holy, intimate companionship; to serve as an illustration of the relationship between Jesus and His church; and to have and raise children in the faith.
• The Return of Christ: We affirm that the return of Christ for all believers in the rapture is imminent. It will be followed by seven years of great tribulation, and then the coming of Christ to establish His earthly kingdom for a thousand years. The unsaved will then be raised and judged according to their works and separated forever from God in hell along with Satan and his demons. The saved, having been raised, will live forever in heaven in fellowship with God and his holy angels.
