WE EXIST TO HONOUR GOD BY ESTABLISHING CHRIST-CENTRED, SPIRIT-EMPOWERED, SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE CHURCHES AND CAMPUS MINISTRIES IN EVERY NATION.
Christ Centred
We remain centred on Christ. He is the foundation and cornerstone of everything we do.
COLOSSIANS 1:17-18
Spirit Empowered
We celebrate the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, who enables us to honour God and become effective witnesses of the Gospel.
ACTS 1:8
Socially Responsible
We demonstrate the compassion and character of Christ to communities and cultures.
PROVERBS 14:31
CORE VALUES
The Apostle Paul exhorted Timothy to “guard the good deposit … with the help of the Holy Spirit” (2 Timothy 1:14). Like Timothy, every ministry has a good deposit that must be guarded. In Every Nation, our foundational values articulate for us the good deposit we as a ministry must guard together, lest they be lost. Whether we’re building a discipleship group, a music group, or planting a new church, these core values are the essential issues and help describe how we build.
LORDSHIP
Jesus is “King of kings and Lords of lords.” we believe that whole-hearted submission to God’s will and his Word is the starting point of the Christian faith and the foundation of all spiritual growth.
COLOSSIANS 2:6
EVANGELISM
God’s heart is to reach the lost, we’re passionate about preaching the gospel and doing ministry in a way that engages people outside of the Christian faith. We seek to build churches primarily through evangelism, not transfer.
JOHN 3:16, LUKE 19:10
DISCIPLESHIP
We’re called to make disciples, our primary focus is establishing biblical foundations, equipping believers to minister, and empowering disciples to make disciples-not conducting meetings, facilitating programs, or building buildings.
MATTHEW 28:19,20
LEADERSHIP
We’re called to establish churches and campus ministries in every nation, we’re committed to a culture of empowering leadership. We’re intentionally multi-generational, and we deliberately create opportunities and platforms to develop the next generation.
II TIMOTHY 2:2
FAMILY
Family is the foundation and validation of ministry, therefore we refuse to sacrifice our marriages and our children on the altars of temporal justice. And because we believe God has called us to be a spiritual family, we embrace community, reject the idea of disposable relationships, and choose to walk in love, respect, and unity.
PSALM 127:1,3
STATEMENT OF FAITH
We Believe
In the Holy Scriptures as originally given by God, divinely inspired, infallible, entirely trustworthy, and the supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
. . . In one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
. . . In our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifested in the flesh, his virgin birth, his sinless human life, his divine miracles, his vicarious and atoning death, his bodily resurrection, his ascension, his mediatorial work, and his personal return in power and glory.
. . . In the salvation of lost and sinful man through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith apart from works, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
. . . In the Holy Spirit, by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life, to witness and work for the Lord Jesus Christ.
. . . In the unity of the spirit of all true believers—the Church, the Body of Christ.
. . . In the resurrection of both the saved and the lost: they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
