Ministry Strategy...

Our mission statement is put into practice:

1. Build Relationships – We believe in relational evangelism over a more impersonal approach (handing out a tract/bible or attending a big crusade). We believe that people will have an open heart towards a friend than from a stranger. The love we have for people is what will attract them to the gospel message. The most significant life changing stories of the Bible are found when Jesus engaged with people on a one-on-one approach.

2. Talk about our beliefs – Once a relationship is established, we can now verbally share our beliefs. It’s not enough to love people, they need to hear why we are the way we are. Jesus taught and preached the message of God’s kingdom wherever he went. Our Evangelism course will train people to share their beliefs through the building of relationships. The goal is to get everyone trained to be a “Contagious Christian.”

3. Connect people into a small group – We believe that the Christian life is enhanced when believers share their Christian journey with other believers and this best happens within a small group of about 10-12 believers. Jesus had his small group of 12 disciples. This is where church life really happens. It’s in small groups that people connect and practice their gifts in building the body of Christ.

4. Serve in the church community – Every believer is given spiritual gifts and talents that is to be used for the common good of God’s church. We are a church community when we: Worship together, relate together using our talents and spiritual gifts, study God’s word together for the purpose of growing spiritually and finding our place of service. Our training course on finding your place of service (Network Class) directs the right people to plug into the right places of ministry for the right reasons.

5. Educate them through discipleship classes – We also believe that believers need to be educated about our biblical doctrines (Foundations Class) and practices. We conduct training classes after worship services on Sunday. We hope to offer courses within the week in the near future and integrate some of our discipleship classes into our small group meetings.

6. Draw crowds through special events – As Jesus attracted the masses of people, we believe in intentionally organizing events like: concerts and crusades to create a movement among believers to reach out in a larger scale to the non-churched community.

7. Support the church financially – We believe that we are stewards of God’s church. One way we express that is by supporting the church financially through our tithes and offerings.
