1. Love and Fellowship:
a. "By this, all people will know that you are My disciples if you have love for one another." – John
13:35
b. Love is not just a trait; it is our identity. We nurture this love through fellowship, following the example set in Acts 2:42, where devotion to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer marked the early believers.
c. Embracing John 15:12, our community thrives on the love that signifies our discipleship.
2. Center in God and the Bible:
a. "And this is eternal life, that they know You, the only True God, and Jesus Christ Whom You have
sent." – John 17:03
b. Our first objective is to seek the Lord, achieved through Bible study and prayer, as demonstrated
in Acts 2:42.
c. The Word is our guide, illuminating our path and transforming lives (Ps. 119:105, Heb. 4:12).
d. We study the Word individually, connecting directly with God, ensuring authenticity and
alignment with His truth (Acts 17:11, 2 Tim. 3:15-17).
3. Gift-Oriented Discipleship:
a. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” – Matt. 28:19-20
b. Discipleship is our mission, complemented by teaching and the Discipleship Pathway as our process.
c. The Holy Spirit gifts us uniquely, empowering us for specific tasks (1 Cor. 12:11).
4. Joyful Service:
a. "…whoever would be great among you must be your servant…" – Matt. 20:26-28
b. Service is our main tenet, modeled after Jesus, and fueled by zeal (Rom. 12:11, 1 Cor 15:58).
5. Authenticity:
a. Our actions are guided by truth, not trends, as the Spirit of truth leads us (John 16:13, John 17:17).
