We are Christ-centred, Holy Spirit empowered, Bible based and a covenantal people; a life-enriching community, who are vision driven disciple makers, leadership trainers and church planters who belong to an apostolic movement.
We believe Christ is central to who we are and what we do. This applies to each
believer and the church
as a whole. All that we are and all that we do is for His glory. We are committed to
helping our members
develop an intimate and meaningful relationship with Christ through prayer; a
relationship that leads to
hope, purpose and fulfilment. We emphasise the importance of submission to His
Lordship under which
members discover the awesome impact of letting God and His will be our first
priority. As we live out
our Christian life as God intends, we become mature, attaining to the whole measure
of the fullness of
Christ. [Colossians 1:17, Ephesians 1:22-23, Ephesians 4:13, Philippians 3:10,
Matthew 6:33]
We believe in the importance of being Spirit-filled and Spirit-led. We emphasise
reliance on the Holy
Spirit in every facet of our personal and church life. It is through the God’s
Spirit that life
transformation occurs and every spiritual gift mentioned in God’s Word can be and
should be manifested
today. Thus, we encourage every member to experience the fullness of the Holy Spirit
and be empowered to
expand His kingdom. It is also the Holy Spirit that reveals Christ to us and leads
us. [Zechariah 4:6,
Acts 1:8, Galatians 5:16-18, Romans 12:6-8, 1 Corinthians 12]
We believe our faith and practice as Christians is founded and built upon biblical
principles. We
emphasise expository preaching and balanced comprehensive teaching so that our
members may understand,
live out and mature in the Christian life as God intended. Anointed expository
preaching allows God’s
Word to be expounded in a balanced and complete manner within its proper context to
bring about life
transformation. We are committed to developing a wide range of relevant teaching
programmes to meet the
needs of the members in the areas of Bible knowledge, Christian living and ministry.
[2 Timothy 3:16-17,
Nehemiah 8:8, 2 Timothy 2:15, James 1:22]
We believe that God is a covenantal God. He seeks people who are committed to Him
and His purpose, and
with one another. We believe an appropriate response to God’s covenant involves
loving, honouring and
worshipping Him above all else. This flows from our belief that God is the Supreme
Creator and has
planned all things in His good will. God is love and He desires to form an eternal
family among whom He
will dwell. We seek to develop covenantal relationships among believers through
committing to love and
build up one another. We are committed to forgive one another, resolve differences
and reconcile
relationships resulting in a deeper bond in unity. [Genesis 1:1, Daniel 10:21,
Ephesians 1:3-10, Hebrews
1:1-4, Revelation 5:1-5, 10:1-7, Exodus 20:3, Psalm 96:9, 1 John 4:13-21, Revelation
21:1-7, Matthew
6:9-13]
We believe the church is a life-enriching community. We are committed to building an
authentic and
biblical community that unconditionally loves and effectively enfolds people of all
cultures and
backgrounds. We seek to create an encouraging community that supports each other
towards their fullest
potential. We seek to create a caring community where help, concern, sharing and
fellowship are
naturally expressed out of a sincere love and commitment towards one another. We
seek to create a place
of healing for the wounded and rest for the weary. Our cell church provides small
groups that are an
ideal environment to foster such a sense of community as our ministries seek to meet
different needs. We
seek to be relevant to the diverse people groups in our city, serving their needs
holistically and
effectively touching their lives for Christ. [Galatians 6:2, 10, Acts 2:42-46]
We believe in the importance of a God given, biblical vision that requires nothing
less than our
obedience to fulfilling the entirety of God’s vision for the church. We are
passionate with the vision
to fulfil the Great Commission by raising Christ-centred disciples to plant vibrant
biblical churches
within every area of all nations in the world. The vision also includes impacting
our society in every
sphere of human endeavour for Christ. We believe that such a vision is inspiring,
exciting, challenging
and God-honouring. Every member is encouraged to develop a personal God-sized
vision. [Proverbs 29:18,
Habakkuk 2:2, Matthew 28:19-20, Isaiah 2:2]
We believe the core command of the Great Commission is to make Disciples of Christ.
We aim to raise
disciples who are passionate for God, people and the Great Commission. We aim to
raise disciples who
continually grow in Christ-like attitudes, values and Kingdom-focused lifestyle. We
aim to nurture
disciples who follow the example of Christ in humility, are submissive in attitude
and sacrificial in
service. We aim to make disciples who choose to submit their lives and desires to
God, as shown by our
respect and submission to God’s Word, our leaders and one another. Zealous people,
who live holy lives,
are full of faith, and desire excellence in their lives and ministry. Disciples who
will in turn make
more disciples. We encourage every member to be this kind of disciple. [Matthew
28:18-20, Romans 8:29, 1
Corinthians 11:1, Hebrews 13:17]
We believe that every Christ follower has leadership potential. We are committed to
helping every member
discover and realise this potential for God’s glory. To this end, we place a high
priority in inspiring,
equipping and empowering every member to effectively undertake the work of the
ministry as well as grow
in leadership. We also seek to develop whole generations of dedicated, sacrificial
and godly leaders for
world-changing ministry. [Matthew 9:37-38, Ephesians 4:11-13, Hebrews 13:20-21,
Matthew 11:12]
We are committed to help every person experience the privilege of a life-changing
personal relationship
under the Lordship of Jesus. As part of this, we are committed to empowering members
to share their
faith and impact their communities. We believe that every believer has a part to
play in world-missions.
We also believe the church is God’s key vehicle to expand His kingdom. Therefore,
our world-missions
strategy is to plant vibrant biblical churches in every nation of the world that
will permeate through
their entire nation by multiplying local churches. The intention of every church is
to reach their
community, nation and every ethnic group of the world. [Isaiah 52:7, Luke 4:18-19,
Ephesians 3:10]
We believe that God uses the five-fold ministry of apostles, prophets, evangelists,
pastors and teachers
to mature the Church to the fullest extent.An apostolic movement incorporating the
five-fold ministry is
God’s plan for the end-time Church. We believe that apostolic movements are a
critical component of the
new structures God is establishing in His Church to contain the new things that God
is outpouring. Thus,
we seek to function in the fullness of the five-fold ministries and to raise whole
generations of
five-fold ministers. [Ephesians 2:19-22, 3:2-6, 4:11-13]
