OUR GOAL
Why every believer a leader?
The Principle of 12. The method of Christ's ministry was to train and equip twelve men with whom He would leave the task of world evangelism. This simple yet brilliant plan continued as His initial twelve began to disciple others. We accept this same challenge for our day! For every believer to be trained and prepared to disciple twelve others and train them to become leaders themselves. As each in turn disciples twelve more, and so on, we can win our city and world for the Kingdom of God!
By now, you may be wondering how this could possibly be accomplished. Our strategy is quite simple, and following Jesus' example in His ministry here on earth, it is based entirely on building relationships. We have implemented a process for not only winning the people of our city, but also for equipping each and every one of us to become leaders.
