The Glorification of God by forming disciples to be like Christ in their daily experience.<\/span><\/p>\n Matthew 28:19-20 \u201c<\/b><\/span>Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,\u00a0baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching\u00a0them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you\u00a0always, to the very end of the age<\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n John 15:8 \u201c<\/span>This is to my Father\u2019s glory,\u00a0that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples<\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n We will proclaim firmly and without fear the truth about God and His Gospel, preaching Scripture in context, with total dependence on the Holy Spirit bringing change towards eternal life.<\/span><\/p>\n Proclamation, exposition and application:<\/span><\/p>\n 1\u00a0Thessalonians 1:5 \u201c<\/span>because our gospel\u00a0came to you not simply with words but also with power,\u00a0with the Holy Spirit and deep conviction.

Do what it says<\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n 2\u00a0Timothy 4 \u201c<\/span>Preach\u00a0the word;\u00a0be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke\u00a0and encourage\u2014with great patience and careful instruction.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n We will unite our voices and lives with worshipers of every nation and language to exalt the name of Jesus Christ in response to His greatness.<\/span><\/p>\n God’s people are called to worship Him – to experience His presence in their midst and His supernatural power to work in their lives. When the people of God gather together to worship Him, God manifests their glory in their midst and everything changes: these men become courageous disciples who share the gospel and become „contagious” to the community they live in.<\/span><\/p>\n John 4:23-24 \u201c<\/span>Yet a time is coming and has now come\u00a0when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit\u00a0and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers<\/span> the Father seeks.\u00a0<\/span>24\u00a0<\/sup><\/b><\/span>God is spirit,\u00a0and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n „… how they used to be” – The Acts of the Apostles.<\/span><\/p>\n We will seek the Lord, His will and His way with humble hearts before Him, trusting in His plan.<\/span><\/p>\n When prayer is not just a church program but part of the life of the disciples of Jesus, something is happening: the promise of Jesus of John 14 is fulfilled.<\/span><\/p>\n John 12:12-13 \u201c<\/span>Very truly I tell you, whoever believes\u00a0in me will do the works I have been doing,\u00a0and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/sup><\/b><\/span>And I will do whatever you ask\u00a0in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/sup><\/b><\/span>You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it<\/span>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Ephesians 6:18 \u201c<\/span>And pray in the Spirit\u00a0on all occasions\u00a0with all kinds of prayers and requests.\u00a0With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying\u00a0for all the Lord\u2019s people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n 1\u00a0Thessalonians 5:17 \u201c<\/span>pray continually<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n The blind see the gospel of Jesus, and the weak walk to Christ. The sick are healed in the name of Jesus, and the deaf hear the good news. Prayer is not just an invitation to experience the presence of God, it is rather an invitation to share the presence of God.<\/p>\n We will invade the darkness of the lost world by proclaiming the truth about Jesus and demonstrating His local and global compassion.<\/span><\/p>\n Ephesians 6:19-20 \u201c<\/span>Do not quench the Spirit.<\/span>\u00a0<\/sup><\/b><\/span>Do not treat prophecies\u00a0with contempt<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n We will give without giving up the multiplication and maturation of the disciples of Jesus to follow together the likeness with Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n Ephesians 4:11-15 \u201c<\/span>So Christ himself gave\u00a0the apostles,\u00a0the prophets,\u00a0the evangelists,\u00a0the pastors and teachers,\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/sup><\/b><\/span>to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ\u00a0may be built up\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/sup><\/b><\/span>until we all reach unity\u00a0in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God\u00a0and become mature,\u00a0attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ<\/span><\/p>\n Then we will no longer be infants,\u00a0tossed back and forth by the waves,and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. <\/span>Instead, speaking the truth in love,\u00a0we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head,\u00a0that is, Christ.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n We will plant churches – unusual communities – dedicated to God’s worship, the training of disciples, and their sending to the world in desperate need of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n The mission of the church, according to the biblical pattern, did not merely summarize evangelism, but rather church planting, so that wherever the apostles evangelized, they also laid the foundations of a new church.<\/span><\/p>\n That is why the church is the framework in which the disciples are formed, and our focus on mission will be primarily the planting of churches and then other para-church works.<\/span><\/p>\n In Matthew 16:18, Jesus says:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI will build my church,\u00a0and the gates of Hades<\/span>will not overcome it\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Church of Christ is manifested through local churches that have the same attributions as the Church as a whole. The local church is the community of people born again by the Holy Spirit by faith in the sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ, united and organized under spiritual leadership to: glorify God by worship (prayer, singing, Mass of the Lord, giving, etc.); the building of the believers’ soul by fitting, teaching and fellowship (Ephesians 4: 11-16); evangelizing the unsaved by the Word and Living (1 Corinthians 11: 18-20, Hebrews 10:25).<\/p>\n Matthew 28:19-20 \u201c<\/span>Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,\u00a0baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching\u00a0them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you\u00a0always, to the very end of the age.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n We believe it is the target, duty, and privilege of every believer and the entire local community of believers to glorify God by actively responding to the call of Jesus Christ’s Great Revelation to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28: 19-20).<\/p>\n Planted churches are in turn called to do the same, planting other churches for future generations and the glory of God.<\/span><\/p>\n That is why we will support church plantings that have the vision of planting other churches.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We believe that the apostolic model of church leadership is the team of presbyters, God-qualified people, with the features of 1 Timothy 3: 1-7 and Titus 1: 5-9.<\/span><\/p>\n Our conviction is that new presbyters must be elected by existing presbyters and confirmed with the church after a thorough process and no hurry to assess.<\/span><\/p>\n The elders will account to the church for their regular activity.<\/span><\/p>\n 1\u00a0Peter 5: 1-3 \u201c<\/span>To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder\u00a0and a witness\u00a0of Christ\u2019s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed:\u00a0Be shepherds of God\u2019s flock\u00a0that is under your care, watching over them\u2014not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be;\u00a0not pursuing dishonest gain,\u00a0but eager to serve not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples\u00a0to the flock.<\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mission The Glorification of God by forming disciples to be like Christ in their daily experience.
