Preamble

We are a fellowship of churches, ministries, and believers united in Jesus Christ and committed to advancing His Kingdom through love, service, and truth.

We do not exist to replace the Church or to form a new denomination, but to strengthen cooperation among the body of Christ for the good of the world and the glory of God.

1. Our Center

We affirm Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

We believe:

• Salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ
• The Scriptures are the authoritative Word of God
• The Holy Spirit leads, empowers, convicts, and transforms the believer
• Every person is called to repentance, new life, and obedience to Christ

Christ is our foundation, and nothing replaces Him.

2. Our Shared Life

We commit to the simple, biblical expressions of the Christian life:

• Baptism as identification with Christ in His death and resurrection
• Communion as remembrance and participation in His sacrifice
• Prayer, worship, and the Word as the sustaining life of the believer and the Church

We recognize that these are not religious performances, but the living rhythms of a people abiding in God.

3. Our Way Together

We choose unity over division, cooperation over competition, and love over pride.

Therefore we commit to:

• Honoring the diversity of expressions within the body of Christ
• Refusing competition or comparison between ministries
• Building trust and relationship across church and ministry lines
• Practicing humility, forgiveness, and reconciliation
• Carrying one another’s burdens in love (Galatians 6:2), while each remains responsible for their own life before God (Galatians 6:5)

We do not require uniformity, but we do pursue unity.

4. Our Mission

We are called to active love expressed through action.

Therefore we commit to:

• Serving the poor, the broken, and the marginalized
• Strengthening families, individuals, and communities
• Making disciples of Jesus Christ
• Demonstrating the Kingdom of God through both word and deed
• Collaborating wherever possible to increase Kingdom impact

We believe mission is not the work of one ministry, but the shared expression of the body of Christ.

5. Our Posture

We remain dependent on God and submitted to His Spirit.

We reject:

• Division as identity
• Ministry competition
• Prideful independence
• The elevation of systems above people

We embrace:

• Humility before God
• Honor toward all parts of Christ’s body
• Unity in essential truth
• Freedom in methods and expression

Summary Statement

We are united in Christ, grounded in Scripture, sustained by the Holy Spirit, and committed to carrying one another’s burdens while serving the world in love.
