About us

Who we are and what we believe in.

Our Vision

Our vision is to see living stones living for Christ, who makes up the church. For too long, we have emphasized strategies, numerical values, and traditions that are nowhere to be found in the Word and a Church that is weak and looking for a quick escape route out of this earth. God made the earth and told us to have dominion; He wants the righteous to inherit the earth. The problem is that the authority from the righteous has shifted to the ruler of darkness, our enemy. Very soon, Christ will return to defeat Satan and put the rulership back into the hands of the righteous, with Christ reigning as King. Until this time of restoration of all things, we want to prepare communities for His return.

We want to see communities and churches who live for Christ, waiting on His return, being steadfast, and glorifying Him on earth through their works.

We work with existing churches or disciples starting a new work to do any of the following:

  • Train and equip leaders for the work of ministry.
  • Laying foundations based on patterns given to us by the prophets and apostles in the scriptures.
  • Teach and train in the Gospel of the Kingdom.
  • We can help you establish your church in the five-fold ministry.
  • We can help establish a new fellowship and how to meet as an expression of the body of Christ in their local context.
  • We can help lead your church into the function of the gifts of the Spirit without sacrificing your church culture.
  • Resolve any leadership issues in existing churches.
  • Resolve any foundational issues in existing churches.
  • Resolve any unhealthy traditions in existing churches that hold us back obeying God's Word.
  • Teach disciples to make disciples.
  • Teaching on healthy church practices, such as ordination, fellowship, sending, and ministry for all members of the body.
  • Send trained disciples and leaders into communities or unreached areas to preach the gospel and lay foundations.

The family

We strive to build spiritual families of disciples who are devoted to one another and not a building. Jesus is represented in character, love, faith, hope, and power. In doing so, we exemplify the example Jesus set for us in living out our purpose: to share the love of God and His promises in the age to come in tangible ways.

In addition to gathering regularly in homes as well as public places, the person of Jesus Christ is the centre of everything we do. The essence of who we are is rooted in knowing Him and sharing Him with others. We are committed to living out our faith by deliberately seeking to establish relationships with those around us, in order to invite them to experience the love and grace of Jesus Christ. For instance, we seek to open our homes for friends and neighbours to share meals and conversations, and to introduce them to the life-changing power of Jesus and the Kingdom of God.

Our mission is to make disciples through a network of churches with a shared vision, mission, and resources. By having a shared power structure in place, we are able to foster a sense of community and make sure everyone is equipped for the work of ministry in the grace that was given to them by Christ, which helps us to be more effective in our mission. We also pool resources together to tackle mission-related tasks and projects better. This allows us to maximize our impact and spread the gospel more effectively. House churches are important to our mission because they provide an intimate setting in which to share the gospel and demonstrate Christ's love. In addition, house churches foster a sense of accountability, and friendship among members of the church, which is essential for spiritual growth. House churches also provide an opportunity to develop and practice leadership skills as well as to serve and love others in the body of Christ.

the doctrine

1. That the Bible (66 books) is the inspired and infallible Word of God, the sole and sufficient guide for our life on earth.
2. That there is one God eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. In the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His humanity, His perfectly sinless life, His substitutionary death as an atonement for our sins, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the Father, and His personal return to the earth for His saints.
4. That all human beings are dead in sin and utterly lost and that the only way their sins can be forgiven is through repentance and through faith in the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
5. In the working of the Holy Spirit, whereby a person is born again to be a child of God.
6. Justification is by faith in Christ alone, evidenced by good works that glorify God.
7. In baptism in water, by immersion, after repentance and faith in Christ.
8. In the necessity of being filled with the Holy Spirit continually in order to have the power to be witnesses for Christ - by life, word and power.
9. In the resurrection of the righteous to eternal life and the resurrection of the unrighteous to eternal damnation.
10. That the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead now lives in every born-again believer and gives us the authority to cast out demons, pray for the sick and baptize other believers.
