Psm 27.17 "Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend". We are not identified by things we can do (talents, gifts etc) but by the dynamic of relationship (who we are in Christ in connection with the Body).

SPIRIT - We are given to allow others, in Christ, to contribute to our lives, to speak into our lives as God leads. Acts2.46 Show ourselves approved Phil 2.22, John 15.13-15 (friends know the heart). Christ in me sharpens you

WORD - We are given to Christs’ Word as the standard by which we gauge our relationships. How we relate , react and contribute to each other is confirmed by His word.

We are slaves to righteousness (Rom 6.18-23) which this leads to holiness. Our mind set on what the Spirit desires which bring life and peace. Our obligation (Rom8.12) is to put to death the misdeeds of the body (Col 3.5 …any acts of sin) which include our old ways, culture, nature etc

SPIRIT - We choose to live by the law of the Spirit. (Rom "those who are led by the Spirit are the sons of God")

WORD- We believe the bible defines unrighteousness clearly and distinctly and so, as a body of believers, we live for righteousness and accept the consequence of unrighteousness (Col 3.25, 1Cor5) according to Gods' WORD.

This is not a one man ministry/mission support group BUT everyone a owner building together (Ephesians 4.11-16 …until WE ALL attain to the unity of the faith…) Gods’ design is a body Built together with the ALL and the WE in focus. Acts 1 & 2, Eph 4.13, Acts 4.32-35

SPIRIT – We base our relationship on Spiritual/eternal values and see each as a priests and leaders

WORD – We build as we see laid out in the Word by virtue of our covenant obligations to each other in honor of God (fellowship, care, communion, finances, protection etc)

We take no place in building a theology on one or two verses but the fullness of thought and flow throughout the Word. We submit to the protection and direction of our Elders in this regard but enjoy freedom of embracing, on our own, a theology by revelation and Faith in God.

SPIRIT – Our hearts are open to allow the Spiritual thoughts and words shared to challenge our theology without offence.

WORD - 2 Tim 3.16 - The Word confirms itself. Our theology captures both heart and thought – Context and content - Acts 20.27 – we don’t add to or take away from the WORD.

Matthew 4.17 teaches kingdom living – pattern - wineskin - Christ culture – and its administration in FAMILY, CHURCH and the WORLD. We live for the greater picture/purpose of the Kingdom of God.

Instruction through Fathering - We submit to its leadership (those given a grace for the church) and respond to its call or commission to disciple nations by seing radical converts who are equipped and trained (establishing leaders) to plant churches and impact communities.
Philippians 1.1, Acts 20.17, Acts 15.4. We also respond to its fathering and instruction as the Lord leads.


.

Ephesians 4 church Train and equip ALL believers in leadership to that end as mandated. We believe that church is about training and equipping (perfecting) people for works of service (exhibition of Christ through us) so that the WHOLE body (world wide) attains to the full measure of the fullness of Christ.

Arrows for the sending (Psm 127) - "...like arrows in the hands of a warrior ...blessed is tha man whose quiver is full of them.."

EMBRACING DIVERSITY Galatians 3.28, 2 Corinthians 8.13-15 we choose to live, relate and embrace oneanother breaking every barrier so that equality is fully expressed in our relationships (Communion- to know each other)

Table Christianity in our homes - We open our homes for friendship and fellowship
Multigenerational families The whole family is important to us.
Multi-cultural and ethnic We love All and want to see a church of multi colors and faces worship together and model the unity only found in the gospel of Christ . Every tribe tongue and nation. We embrace all nations and peoples called together under one head, Christ. The culture of the Kingdom of Christ and His righteousness.
Family is team - Families are called.Children are not the sum total of our family but gifts & blessings that add value to further the Godly legacy through us.
Everyone involved - No spectator- all/everyone/togetherness. Non greater than another but servants to all –( Rich or poor; old or young; Black or white etc)
Servant to sonship - Readiness to pay the price/sacrifice for one another (Mark 8.34-38). We sacrifice our all as unto Him. We want to live as Christ lived for the sake of the world.
