About Us
Our Vision
In everything we do, we envision to. . .
BE Christ’s transforming community that impacts ourselves, our neighbors, and our world for God’s kingdom.
We believe that Christ’s transforming community embraces:
Congruence in all we do (ends/means, rhetoric/practice)
A qualitatively different life, community, and church (Gospel-living)
A counter-cultural mindset (Kingdom-minded/missional)
Our Core Values
In everything we do, we desire to seek. . .
Scripture-Guidance (2 Timothy 3:15-17)
The first sign of Scripture-guidance is Christ-centeredness.
Spirit-Dependence (1 Corinthians 2:1-5)
The first sign of Spirit-dependence is prayer.
Real Transformation (Romans 12:1-2)
The first sign of real-transformation is joy.
Authentic Community (Acts 2:42-47)
The first sign of authentic-community is commitment.
Our Core Practices
1. Simple Life & Ministry: Keep life and ministry simple by proactively arranging them around the “organic life process” of transforming home-group communities.
2. Deep Mutual “Care & Challenge”: Cultivate both deep care and deep challenge mutually as the transformational group-culture.
3. Missional Community: Be God’s sent-people to the world by living life the Jesus way and by reaching out with the gospel locally and globally.
4. Plurality of Leadership: Lead synergistically and biblically—but not politically, pursuing collective strength of wisdom and accountability as biblical discernment.
5. Apprenticing/Mentoring: Practice apprenticing/mentoring as a lifestyle—starting within home-group communities—mostly without any titles, positions, or even using the words, “apprenticing/mentoring.”
6. Organic Leadership Development: Develop and empower homegrown leaders through sharing leadership tasks and responsibilities of home-group communities.
7. Building Up & Branching Out: Multiply transforming communities through building up and branching out home-group communities (20/30) and churches (300/400)—to keep it “happily disorganized.”
