Transforming our City and beyond by igniting a Kingdom Movement of Young Disciplemakers

1. City Transformation

A. Revival - The changing of individuals so they are brought under the lordship of Jesus Christ through repentance and faith in Jesus.

B. Reformation - The changing of society where godly principles and structures are introduced into the institutions of family, education, church, government and business.

A movement is when God moves in and through his people in a Supernatural way to impact a nation.

2. Kingdom Movement

We work together with the His People family; the Every Nation family; other churches and other organisations.

We want to raise up a generation of disciplemakers – followers of Jesus who make Disciples

3. Young Disciplemakers

Our disciple growth process: Seeker ---- Believer --- Worker --- Shepherd

The Win at Each Level

Lost youth are connected to believers, have heard the gospel and had the opportunity to embrace Jesus as Saviour and Lord.

Young believers are grounded in their faith, participate in activities that lead to spiritual growth and reflect the character of Jesus.

Growing believers are serving as workers among other believers and sharing Jesus with lost people.

Maturing believers are serving as shepherds both formally and informally among their peers.
