We have found a &#8220;home&#8221; here because we have tasted God&#8217;s love and goodness.<br>We are on the mission of Jesus. We have new life in Christ and with it, we have discovered a new purpose and true meaning for our life.<\/p>\n<h2>Purpose<\/h2>\n<p>We are God&#8217;s new creation placed here to bring his kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Abiding in Christ and in his love<\/li>\n<li>Being filled with (guided and empowered by) the Holy Spirit<\/li>\n<li>Discipleship multiplication in our everyday life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Values<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Passion &#8211; To love the Lord our God with all our being<\/li>\n<li>Purity &#8211; To be holy, making the Kingdom culture our standards for life<\/li>\n<li>Power &#8211; To depend on the Holy Spirit<\/li>\n<li>Praise &#8211; To enter the presence of God with praise and thanksgiving<\/li>\n<li>Prayer &#8211; To move God and to have our lives changed<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Approach<\/h2>\n<p>We redeem our everyday living and are intentional about creating four spaces to grow to be more like Jesus.<\/p>\n<h3>Life with God<\/h3>\n<p>Everything about believers&#8217; life revolves around Jesus. Our relationship with him defines who we are and gives our life meaning and purpose. Ultimately, we want to learn to enjoy him forever and delight in his presence. Jesus cherished his time with the Father.<\/p>\n<h3>Life on Life<\/h3>\n<p>God created us as a physical, spiritual and relational being. Our individual relationship with anyone can be used by God for discipleship if we value it and approach it intentionally. Jesus spent time individually with people like Nicodemus and a Samaritan woman at the well.<\/p>\n<h3>Life in Community<\/h3>\n<p>We teach and learn from others when we are in a community. It&#8217;s like experiencing Jesus in 3D. Jesus gathered his twelve. He often pulled even a smaller group of three, Peter, John and James.<\/p>\n<h3>Life on Mission<\/h3>\n<p>Becoming more like Jesus is not a theory but a way of life in this world. We learn on the go. Discipleship is &#8220;on the job&#8221; training. When we are on a shared mission with others, we not only accomplish God&#8217;s mission but also are being transformed by his grace. Jesus was always with his disciples when he ministered to people and proclaimed the Gospel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WELCOME We are a fellowship, that is, a community on a mission.We are a community brought by Jesus.
