FAITH

The Bible

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. (2 Timothy 3:16).

The Triune God

We believe in the eternal God who has revealed Himself as ONE existing in three persons – Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit – distinguishable but indivisible.

We believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

We believe in God, the Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.

We believe in God, the Holy Spirit, who has been at work since the beginning of creation.

The Church

We believe in the Church, the communion of saints, the gathering of believers for worship, prayer, fellowship, and mission.
We believe in the universal body of Christ, which is made up of local churches around the world.

We believe water baptism represents of the cleansing power of the blood of Christ and is a testimony of our faith in Jesus Christ.
We believe in the celebration of Holy Communion as a way to remember and be thankful to the Lord for His sacrifice for us on the cross.

FOUNDATION

The Great Commission

Making True Disciples (Matt. 28:18-20)

We take the Great Commission of our Lord seriously and encourage every church to participate in fulfilling its mission. Every believer should be a great commission Christian and an every-day missionary in his own calling.

The Great Commandment

Loving God and Neighbors. (Matthew 22:37-39; James 1:26-27)

We want to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ to those with spiritual and physical needs.
Every Christian should serve the Lord and and serve mankind.

The Great Responsibility

Equipping the Church for the Service of our Lord. (Ephesians 4:11,12)

The crucial need within the church is to equip faithful Christian leaders in how to teach others to equip and train others. 80% of independent pastors in India are self-trained and biblically illiterate. They do not know what they do not know.

As part of the global body of Christ, we are called to help those suffering by remembering them in prayer, offering relevant help, giving financial support when warranted, and providing pertinent training.

 

FUNCTION

Equipping

Through in-the-field practical theological training, we equip disciple-makers and church pastors in India in  evangelism and church planting so they and their ministry will stand for truth in the contexts of heresies and rising opposition. We have eight courses we teach to help them to be effective in their calling.

Serving Communities

We reach out to suffering communities and serve them in Christ’s love through social and charitable means. The good news is shared and our hope is all who have heard will embrace truth and be set free in Christ for eternity. It is the gospel that sets people free, through the Holy Spirit, not corrupt systems of the world. We are helping hundreds of impoverished and overlooked people throughout India.

Effectively Reaching Others

In the age of education, technology, and opposition to the Christian mission, there are cultural and contextual logistics that evangelizers need to understand. We provide leaders culturally relevant and practical guidance so they can bring people to Christ through careful contextualization. This way, they spend their time and energy meaningfully.
