As a mission, we value dependency on Jesus, risk-taking obedience, transforming community, relational integrity and celebration. Our practices and strategy value the Great Commission and the Great Commandment, the least reached, holistic church planting, MB theology, the global MB family, prayer and God’s Word.
Interpersonal Values
Dependency on Jesus
We are moving beyond our comfort and control, dependent on the ‘Lord of the harvest’ to lead and resource us into His mission.
Risk-taking Obedience
Responding to the Spirit’s voice leads us through a crisis of belief to risk-taking faith. Joining God requires it. The journey of global mission demands it.
Transforming Community
Our relationships testify to the reality of Jesus. Transforming community is both the vehicle and outcome of global mission.
Relational Integrity
We move in team, committed to loving relationships, transparent discussion, trusting authority, accountable decision making and mutual respect.
Celebration
The joy of the Lord is our strength. We celebrate each other and God’s activity at every occasion.
Organizational Values
Great Commission & Great Commandment
We are obeying Christ’s commission to make disciples of all nations by embodying a whole-hearted love for God and a self-giving love for others.
Least Reached People
We are committed to prioritizing the 2 billion people who have not heard the Gospel or seen a demonstration of the life changing power of Jesus.
Holistic Church Planting
We are focused on planting churches that bring transformation to the whole person and their surrounding community.
MB Theology & Family
We are committed to our theological roots in the radical reformation and the evangelical renewal movement of the global Mennonite Brethren Church.
Prayer & Word of God
We are committed to intercession for world mission and to hearing God’s voice through listening, prayer and the reading of God’s word.
