The categories below express our holistic, apostolic vision for ministry. Together they reflect the pattern Jesus entrusted to his apostles—a pattern that forms disciples, raises up leaders, guards the flock, sends out workers, and multiplies healthy churches in every generation.

1. Core Commitments: Clarifying the foundational biblical convictions of the early church—truths that anchor our identity, shape our priorities, and sustain every aspect of ministry. These commitments express who God is, who we are as his people, and how we follow Christ in holiness, love, unity, and mission.

2. Evangelism: Engaging unbelievers with the gospel through relationships, hospitality, and clear proclamation of Jesus’s death and resurrection. These resources help believers identify receptive people, share the apostolic message, answer objections with clarity and humility, and lead responsive individuals to repentance, faith, and baptism.

3. Discipleship and Sound Doctrine: Nurturing believers toward maturity through devotion to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, the Lord’s Supper, and prayer. This includes sound doctrine—an essential part of discipleship—which summarizes the key truths handed down by the apostles for the strengthening, unity, obedience, and long-term faithfulness of the church. These resources help believers grow in character, convictions, community life, holiness, endurance, and mission.

4. Network Leadership and Leadership Development: Identifying, equipping, deploying, and supporting faithful leaders who can teach the Word, shepherd God’s people, guard the flock from error, suffer courageously for the gospel, organize and oversee multiplying churches, and send others into the harvest. These pathways cultivate character, doctrinal clarity, spiritual discernment, pastoral wisdom, team-based leadership, and movement-aligned practices so that every generation has qualified leaders who can strengthen churches and multiply other leaders across the network.

Together, these categories form a unified framework for advancing Jesus’s mission—making disciples of all nations, strengthening the church, and multiplying gospel-centered communities from home to home, city to city, and region to region.
