MISSIONAL PROMISES:
We will pursue Jesus’s command to make disciples, with the understanding that disciple- making is obedience-based, not information-based.
We will teach church as identity over church as event. The church is an extended spiritual family. We believe the church is a people, not a place.
We will remain committed to the rhythms of the microchurch as defined by the ecclesial minimum (worship/community/mission).
We will support and serve microchurches as the primary expression of the church, and not just a trendy idea or fad.
We will seek to help every believer discover their personal calling and foster an environment where they can exercise that calling.
In order to establish, protect and deepen relationship we are asking every microchurch to refrain from recruiting members of other microchurches into their microchurch without significant prior relationship and communication between missionary leaders.
In the same spirit of relationship, we are asking microchurches to avoid using the broader network as a market to capitalize on through the sale of resources.
