OUR MISSION:
To present the Gospel of Jesus Christ in such a way
that turns non-Christians into converts into disciples, and disciples into
mature, fruitful leaders, who will, in turn, go into the world and reach others
for Christ.
OUR VISION:
To see people saved, healed, set free, discipled,
equipped, empowered, and serving God
as Jesus Christ teaches us about Love, Peace Togetherness its also our duty to
extend to different communities in South Sudan.
OUR CORE
VALUES:
THE HOLY SCRIPTURES
We believe the Bible is the
authoritative and infallible word of God thereby making it the foundation of
our Christian faith. We believe that Scripture is the primary means in which we
can know God and His will. We study the Word of God to apply its truths to be
more Christ-like. We preach and teach from the Word of God so people can hear
and receive the Gospel. We depend on the Word of God to judge what is true and
what is false in our understanding of God, the gospel, the world, and ourselves.
GROW UP (SPIRITUAL GROWTH)
We believe in order to
bless the world; Christians must grow spiritually. This growth is measured in five crucial areas:
§ Godliness - The ability to live a moral and self-controlled lifestyle
§ Relational Competence - The ability to lovingly relate to people in
every sphere of life (family, work, church, political, racial)
§ Outward Compassion - The ability to wisely serve the broken,
forgotten and forsaken
§ Wisdom
- The ability to live out the principles of Scripture and avoid being deceived
by the worldviews of the secular culture
§ Prayerful - The ability to commune with God through prayer that
strengthens our confidence that we can depend on God’s love and purposes for
our lives
BRING GLORY TO GOD
The overarching purpose of
our existence is to glorify God. All true believers understand that the goal of
all that they do is the purpose of glorifying God. (1 Cor. 10:31)
HOLD TO THE
CENTRALITY OF THE WORD OF GOD
We glorify God as a group of music by preaching, studying, and obeying the truths of God’s Word. The
Word of God is our infallible, inerrant, and sufficient authority. God’s Word is
superior to all and is not limited by anything. God only honors those who honor His Word. (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 4:2)
MAINTAIN THE PRIORITY OF PRAYER AND WORSHIP
We are called to live out
our lives as living sacrifices, dying to self and living for God. The only
appropriate response to God’s amazing love toward us is to live our lives in
worship to God and in complete dependence on the Lord through prayer. Worship
and prayer are not secondary practices in the Church but are the life and
breath of the Church. (Rom. 12:1-12; Phil. 4:6-7)
LIVE IN THE
LIGHT OF GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY
To accept that God is in
control of everything in our life and that His ways are not our ways; that
human choice is God’s sovereign means to His predetermined ends. (Rom.
11:33-36)

To
strengthen the family units so that the home life of each member is healthy and
fruitful by biblical standards.

To
provide systematic study in the Bible to those who desire to be fed the Word of
God (1 Peter 5:1-3).

various ministries established by God to equip believers to fulfill their respective functions as
members of the Body of Christ and to bring the whole Body of Christ into unity,
maturity, and completion according to Ephesians 4:11-16.

pray for the needs of all people, for local and national leaders and
governments, and for all that are in authority as instructed in 1 Timothy

·
Christ-centered
Keeping our
hearts centered on Jesus
Christ is consistently honoring God’s
amazing work for us through the sacrificial and substitutionary work of Jesus
on behalf of those He came to save. The work of Jesus on behalf of believers
should cause humble appreciation and consistent affirmation of what Jesus has
done and continues to do for His followers.

foundational knowledge of the scriptures and a Biblical view of a Christ-like
lifestyle; leaders who are endowed with the Power of the Spirit.

such a way that it will develop mature patterns of behavior acceptable for the Group.
OUR GOAL / TARGET
To
inspire men and women to be diligent in accepting the Call of God and to
further the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Men and women that have come to know Jesus
Christ as their personal Saviour need to know Him. To KNOW HIM is profitable,
and to receive His Word into their heart is Life! Therefore, we pursue the
Scriptures as one dedicated to being "Thoroughly Furnished." We believe the
Scriptures to be the literal Word of God given to us by holy men who were
inspired by the Spirit of God - 2 Peter 1:10, 21; 2 Timothy 3:16
