The Vision
I. The Core: Authentic, Simple Love
We see lovesick, authentic, WARshipping communities that multiply to fulfill the Great Commission. We see the simplicity of the Gospel restored (1 Cor 2:4-5, 2 Cor 11:3), where a primal love for God and people is the pulse of every action. Instead of the performance and hype that seek to build "bigger" ministries, we see a church where the Great Commandment—loving the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength—has returned to its rightful, first place (Matthew 22:37-38). We see a community in which the magnificence of Christ takes the center stage and not a gifted man or a woman. We see a community of believers that loves to BEHOLD God.
II. Loving God with our Everything
We see a community where love for God consumes the totality of our being:
- With Heart: continuous adoration, worship, and intercessory prayer (Psalm 27:4).
- With Soul: lives defined by freedom from the bondage of sin and spiritual oppression (Mark 5:19-20, John 8:36).
- With Mind: a people built up in the knowledge of truth through diligent study and simple obedience to the Word (Romans 12:1, 2 Timothy 2:15, James 1:22, Matt 7:26).
- With Strength: the consecrated use of every resource—time, energy, finances, and health—as disciples on a journey of spiritual formation (1 Pet 4:10 Matt 25:21, 1 Cor 4:2 Eph 5:15-16).
III. The Household: Basic Building Blocks
We see the home as the primary building blocks and the sanctuary of Christ’s Church. Within these households:
- We see fathers standing as priests, instructors, and servant-leaders (Ephesians 6:4).
- We see mothers as primary disciple-makers, nurturers, and spiritual watchmen (Proverbs 31:26-27).
- We see children as active disciples and co-participants in Kingdom building—arrows to be sent out into the world (Psalm 127:4).
IV. The Community & Leadership: A Safe Household
We see a "Tapestry of Love" where individuals and families weave their lives together to worship, pray, study, break bread, encourage, edify, and BECOME like Christ. (Acts 2:42-47).
- We see a sanctuary of safety: A family environment where everyone is known, honored, loved, valued, and trusted—a place where everyone can simply be themselves and not have to perform.
- We see a community that has so much trust and love for one another that even an off-key singer or not-so-gifted teacher cannot break the bond of peace.
- We see personhood over performance: A community where a person’s value is found in who they are in Christ, never in the "gifts" or skills they can provide. You are a brother or sister to be loved, a parent or child to be honored—never a competitor to be envious or jealous of.
- We see leaders as sacrificial parents that fight for their family: Leaders who do not sit on high pulpits, but who walk among the people as servant-disciples (Mark 10:42-45). They are the protectors of this safe environment, actively involved in daily life rather than removed from it.
- We see a community walking in the light: A culture of confession and accountability where people receive freedom and healing, and burdens are carried through prayer and practical help (James 5:16; Galatians 6:2).
V. The Movement: Simple Multiplication
We see a multiplication of communities that are unfazed by the expectations of Western Christianity. We see a shift from amassing followers to raising up and sending out ministers.
- We see a "Go and Be" culture: A movement that has moved past the "come and see" model and live incarnationally among the lost as missionaries. We see ordinary believers commissioned, equipped, and BE SENT as carriers of the tangible presence of Christ in schools, businesses, and coffee shops.
- We see success measured by sending: The health of a community is seen in who is sent out, rather than who stays.
- We see a reproducible wildfire: Through "abundant sowing" and the M-A-W-L (Model, Assist, Watch, Leave) model, we see a movement that continues until the Great Commission is fulfilled by disciples are able to make disciples that can also multiply (2 Timothy 2:2).
