We are highly committed to the local church as God’s chosen instrument for bringing His redemptive purposes.

Local Church is God’s chosen instrument for bringing about His redemptive purposes (Matt 16:18; 28:18-20;

Christ died for the church and believers are rescued into the Church. Thus discipleship must include the local church. (Eph 1:22-23; 2:11-22; 5:25; 1 Peter 2:9-10)

“Christian growth occurs only when the whole life is shaped by Christian practices in community—including prayer, baptism, the Lord’s Supper, fellowship, and the public ministry of the Word” (TGC, FD). Therefore, Gospel ministry always points people to the Gospel-Community, The Church.

Relational not just purely proclamation or confrontational ministry

We believe relational ministry is modeled in Scripture. Throughout Scripture, we see ministry being done in the context of relationship (OT covenant community, NT church) and ultimately in the incarnation of Christ (John 1:14)

In relational ministry, we are referring to ministry being done in the context of relationship as opposed to purely proclamation or confrontational approaches to ministry (those these have their biblical place). Our focus is doing ministry in the context of relationships.

All of life integrated into the gospel

The Scriptures of the OT and NT are our ultimate source of authority and we believe it to be the Word of God (2 Tim 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21)

The Scriptures are clear, necessary, true, inerrant, infallible and sufficient.

The Scriptures tell the redemptive story of the Triune God throughout history finding its fulfillment in the person and work of Christ (Luke 24). Creation, Fall, Redemption, Restoration

Ministry finds its power in the Gospel (Romans 1:16; 1 Cor 3:16-18) and work of the Holy Spirit as opposed to moralism or pragmatism.

What we do is based on the Scriptures

Scripture is authoritative, sufficient and necessary (2 Peter 1:3-8; 2 Tim 3:16-17)

Scripture is the ultimate source of truth. (Psalm 1; 19; 119)

Scripture is living and active and a means of God’s grace to us (Heb 4:12)

Every thought (theological, socio-political, psychological, etc) is to be held captive by the word of God (2 Cor 10:4-5). It is the supreme rule for faith and life.
