Go Deeper: Our Network Library

Go Deeper invites you into the full library of resources that shape our holistic, apostolic vision for ministry. Here you can explore the categories that express the way of Jesus and his apostles—a pattern that forms disciples, raises up leaders, guards the flock, sends out workers, and multiplies healthy churches in every generation. Each category below is arranged intentionally to help you grow in biblical clarity, ministry skill, and apostolic alignment.

  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 summarize 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 recognize receptive people, communicate 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. Sound doctrine—central to all discipleship—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, oversee multiplying churches, and send others into the harvest. These pathways cultivate character, doctrinal clarity, spiritual discernment, pastoral wisdom, team-based leadership, and practices aligned with movement-building so that every generation has qualified leaders who can strengthen churches and raise up more workers.

  5. Training Series: Offering focused, 5–8-week equipping tracks that cultivate essential ministry skills. These short series train believers to interpret and apply Scripture, shepherd people through common struggles, teach the Discipleship Series, engage unbelievers with the gospel, and lead simple, participatory gatherings. These trainings give ordinary believers clarity, competence, and confidence to serve others wisely and faithfully.

  6. Biblical Foundations for the Apostolic Mission: Offering deep, Scripture-saturated studies of major biblical passages, whole books, and redemptive-historical themes that shape our understanding of God’s character, the gospel, the church, and the mission of God. These studies illuminate the Father’s purposes, the work of Christ, the power of the Spirit, and the apostolic patterns through which disciples were formed, leaders trained, and churches multiplied across the first-century world—strengthening the theological backbone of our network for generations to come.

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.
