We are intent on making disciples together as a church and we have studied, prayed and discussed and agreed on the list of traits we want to develop in people whom the Lord entrusts to us. These are the traits in a nutshell:
WORLD: Evangelism and Missions- Compelled, Compassionate, Community service
REVIVAL: Holy Spirit’s Work- Spirit-empowered(gifts) and Spirit-guided(fruit)
PRAYER: Prayer- Intimacy and Intercessory Prayer
FELLOWSHIP: Discipleship in Community- Discipleship, Servant-heart, Unity, Healing Community.
When you look at the traits you can see that it shows somewhat how God has been working in our church life to form these values. The traits resonates with our spiritual history and identity.
However, in the past, we have not deliberately, systematically sought to form these traits. We did not know how. Now we will do it in a deliberate, intentional way. Once we were vague about these traits, and they were incomplete. Now it is in written form and in black and white, and they represent what we want to inculcate in the believers God gives us. -Pastor Kenny
