Our Values
Drawing on the scriptures, we aim to bring forth His Kingdom and fulfill His will on earth as it is in Heaven. We are committed to a long-term vision of strength and confidence. We prioritize cultivating healthy, productive relationships that enhance our ability to act effectively. Equally important is the role of the apostolic in forging both practical and spiritual alliances to further God's purposes. As demonstrated throughout the New Testament, apostolic work aims to expand Jesus' influence on earth as it's solid leaders engage with churches and ministries and those misters who work in the private and public sector. These include the market place, business, education, social engagement, and myriad possibilities within our world. We recognize the value of public sector ministers as equals with traditional church leaders.
Our History
Our Mission
Our mission is to collectively advance the Kingdom of God in our moment in time. We aim to build on Jesus' foundation to create a lasting impact for future generations. Believing in the power of God and the necessity of strong alliances, we recognize that easy church is no longer an option. We must engage our minds, bodies, and faith to fulfill our King's mandate. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we utilize both physical and spiritual resources. To advance, we must collaborate, combat isolation, and foster genuine connections. We cannot fail; we must overcome.
