PHILOSOPHY OF MINISTRY

We seek to minister in a culture of SHALOM. In the Bible, Shalom refers to physical wellbeing, security, respect, and love. God’s children thrive in an environment in which their physical needs are met, they feel secure, respected, and are able to openly give and receive love. Therefore, we seek to establish and maintain a culture of SHALOM.

We are . . .

EVANGELICAL

Everyone needs a life-changing relationship with Jesus (John 17:3)
Those who have that relationship with Jesus will follow Him (Matthew 4:19)

INCARNATIONAL

Because God loves people, He sent Jesus to become flesh and live among them, and Jesus sent out His followers to do the same (John 1:14)
He has sent us to Garth and Sexton – to people God loves (Matthew 28:19-20)

CHARISMATIC

Jesus gave the gifts of the Holy Spirit to His followers to enable them to do what He sent them to do (Acts 1:8)
Jesus has also given the gifts of the Holy Spirit to enable us to do what He is sending us to do (1 Corinthians 12:4-6)

MESSIANIC

Jesus is the prophesied Messiah [the Christ] (John 1:41)
He is coming back to set up the Messianic Age [the Millennium] (Daniel 2:44), fulfill the promises made to Abraham (Hebrews 11:13-16), and restore Israel to prominence among the nations (Isaiah 2:2-3)

God blessed the Seventh Day [the Sabbath] at creation (Genesis 2:3)
In the Messianic Age, the Lord of the Sabbath will restore the Seventh Day as a day of worship and rest (Acts 3:20-21; Isaiah 66:23)
