FAITH & CHARACTER                                                                      

  • We have decided that having faith without works is not enough and having works without love is not acceptable. What we do comes out of relationship - first with the Father and then with each other.
  • We have decided that confident faith is good and bold faith is better.
  • We have decided that gifting with out character is not enough.
  • We have decided to be radical lovers and outrageous givers.
  • We have decided to be infectious instead of innocuous, contagious instead of quarantined, deadly instead of benign.
  • We have decided that it is better to fall short while reaching for the best God has planned for us than succeed settling for less.

POWER                                                                                         

  • We have decided that reading about the book of Acts without living the book of Acts is unthinkable.

    We have decided that living saved but not supernatural lives is living below our privilege and short of what Christ died for.
  • We have decided that hearing about the Holy Spirit without experiencing Him is not enough, that believing in His Presence without seeing it shown in signs and wonders is not enough; believing in healing without seeing people healed is absurd, and that believing in deliverance without people being delivered is absolutely ridiculous.
  • We have decided to be Holy Spirit filled, Holy Spirit led and Holy Spirit empowered - anything less will not work for us.
  • We have decided to be the ones telling the stories of God's power - not the ones hearing about them.

THEREFORE THIS IS WHAT WE’LL DO                                                

          THE PAST

  • We will honour the past but we won’t live in it. We will live in the present with our eyes on the future.
  • We will see past events - however they turn out - as stepping-stones not stop signs.
  • We will focus on what God is doing, or could do, not on what he hasn’t done.
  • We will be a people of destiny, not of history.

          ACTION

  • We will pursue learning to empower what we do, not solely for intellectual satisfaction.
  • We will be doers not observers.

WORLD VISION                                                                             

  • We will not be limited to the four walls of our building. Our influence will not be restricted by our location - not even the nations are out of bounds.
  • We will be more concerned about how many we send out into the world than how many we get to come into the building. Our building is meant to be filled but it will not be the measure of who we are or the measure of our effectiveness.
  • We will raise up world changers - not tour guides. We will train commandos, not committees.
  • We believe that no matter where you are in your life journey -there is room on this path for you

THIS PATH                                                                                    

  • These decisions are not destinations but rather journeys.
  • We have not found some new path - but rather rediscovered the path as old as Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The same path followed by Moses, Joshua and Caleb, Paul, John, Peter.
  • It is the path followed by the first century church - a church that revolutionized the culture of the first century and beyond.
  • It is a path that will impact the world we live in today.
  • It is a path of Bold Faith - believing that what the scripture teaches is really true and acting on it, Outrageous Generosity - giving our life away in order to demonstrate His Kingdom, and Radical Love - loving God with everything in us and our neighbour just as much as ourselves.
  • It is a path of liberty, freedom, and healing. On this path we find significance, purpose, and destiny.
  • Jesus said it this way: "Come, all you who labour and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me - for my yoke is easy and my burden is light - and you will find rest for your souls."

This is not an invitation to inactivity or retirement - but to partner with Jesus, stop struggling, walk in rest, and let Him turn our world upside down.
