Christ is Head
Not a figurehead or a brand — the actual and final authority. Every role below is a stewardship under Him, never a substitute for Him.
"He is the head of the body." — Colossians 1:18
The Soul & The Body
One movement, expressed two ways. The soul is the reason; the body is the reach. Neither stands without the other.
The Spirit of It
Underneath every program is one aim: helping ordinary believers worship Christ in every part of life — not a program or an entity, but a way of living, carried into any church.
- The undivided life — Christ in all of it
- Heartbeat: receive and release
- Lived together — the two or three
- Made known wherever we go
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations." — Matthew 28:19
