A Multi-ethnic Missional Community for the City
Missional Statement
To glorify God through the threefold work of advancing the gospel by means of biblical evangelism, preserving God’s truth by means of discipleship and apologetics, and cultivating a multi-ethnic community that seeks to worship God holistically.
The Four Pillars
I. Re-Creation: We seek regeneration, redemption, restoration and cultural renewal at all levels through the exposition and application of God’s word to every sphere of life – beginning with the individual, then the family, the community, the academy and the culture (Gen. 1:28; 9:1; Ps. 2:10-12; Matt. 28:18; 2 Cor. 10:4-5; 1 Tim. 6:5-6).
II. Christian Education: We seek to take all thoughts captive to Christ and his kingdom by unveiling the conflict at the worldview level between Christianity and all competing philosophies of life – all of which are inescapably religious – and inculcating Christ and God’s word as the ultimate authority for all knowledge through expository preaching, teaching and discipleship (2 Cor. 10:5).
III. Apologetics: We assert that Christianity is not probably true; it is a total certainty which rests upon Scripture’s self-attestation to its authority and truthfulness. We seek to train believers to articulate, defend and manifest God’s truth through expository preaching, teaching and supporting our resourcing ministry, the Cántaro Institute (1 Pt. 3:15; Tit. 2:8; Prov. 22:6; 2 Tim. 2:15).
IV. Missional: We seek to be a missional, outward-turned community of grace-bought believers (bought with a price by the grace of God), committed to advancing and applying the gospel and administering the grace of God in all spheres of life in order to make all nations disciples of Jesus Christ (Gen. 1:28; Matt. 28:18-20; Rom. 10:14-15).
