Our Foundational Principles and Values are the foundation for our life and ministry together:
1. We will stand for truth: Our common statement of faith is a living
expression of the doctrinal foundations upon which we stand together.
2. We will establish our unity in our Christ-centered vision: We
experience inter-cultural unity in the midst of diversity as
inter-dependent churches with a common vision.
3. We will depend on God in prayer: Our life and vitality as a Family
of Churches is dependent upon prayer.
4. We will value healthy inter-church life: We believe that
reconciliation and wholeness is developed in the context of
relationships, and we will care for one
another as individuals and churches in spiritual and practical ways.
5. We will make disciples: We will work together to reproduce fully
devoted followers of Christ in all generations.
6. We will value every church as an equal member of the family: We
recognize that our churches are inter-connected and each has unique
gifts that will help our whole family grow in our identity and
calling.
7. We will equip and empower: We will intentionally multiply
Spirit-empowered and kingdom-minded leaders, ministers, and churches.
8. We will be a force, not a fortress: We will actively seek to
extend the kingdom of God from our churches to our communities and to
the nations.
