What is the purpose of the Association?
Our purpose is to cultivate a culture of transformation and renovation through Kingdom-centered churches. We can’t create culture; we are only sowing and cultivating in God’s field. In a rapidly changing world, we are helping churches to re-think methods and structures for the sake of bringing the unchanging message of the gospel of the kingdom to our neighborhoods.
How is the purpose accomplished?
We focus on 3 primary strategies:
- Cultivate Legacy – processes designed to cultivate a disciple-making lifestyle among churches and leaders.
- What kind of church will you be?
- How will you empower and activate you members into ministry?
- How will you disciple the next generation of leaders?
- How will you pass the baton?
- Engage neighbors – Resources designed to assist churches increase awareness of and engagement with their neighbors.
- How will you live sent into the neighborhood where God has planted you?
- How will you join hangs to seek the peace and benefit of the neighborhood where you have been sent?
- How will you minister in the marketplace?
- Expand Kingdom Awareness – Synergistic initiatives to start and support vibrant churches in our communities and beyond.
- How will you shine a light on and celebrate what God is doing beyond your local congregation?
- How will you develop kingdom partnerships to start new churches and strengthen existing ones?
- How will you partner for the sake of seeing the influences of the gospel extended?
