The 3 G's
Gather
We gather as the Ekklesia, body & family of Jesus, to worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. We gather to receive the Gospel and its application to our everyday life. We gather to be conduits of the gifts of the Spirit of God to build up the body in love. We gather face to face because we were made to be a body in relationship, in person. (Acts 2, John 4, 1 Cor 12-14, Eph 4)
Grow
We grow as we connect to Jesus together in everyday discipleship while on the mission of Jesus. Jesus is formed in us as we do life on life and life together on Jesus’s mission. We grow as we follow Jesus, anchored in our new identity AND as we teach others to follow Him as well. (Matthew 28, 2 Cor. 3)
Go
We go together on the mission of Jesus to our community, sharing the Gospel, meeting needs and multiplying the church in more communities. In missional communities, every Christ-follower has been sent by Jesus to be a missionary to those around them. We are called to bring the Gospel in word & deed. This happens in our Missional Communities. (Acts 6,8-9,16)
