& Beliefs

Our motto: Come as you are.
Our Mandates
First love for Jesus: we are called to holiness and consecration as the male Bride of our Bridegroom King Jesus, not out of legalism, but out of romance with the One who loves us like no other. This is our foundation for everything.
Transparency: Through the cultivation of a fervent love and grace for each other in Jesus, our goal is to ensure every brother is made to feel safe to bring their brokenness, mess and pain into the light. We are righteous in Christ, so we encourage the removal of all religious masks, performance and false-masculine guards and posturing in order to model and encourage humble authenticity, regular repentance and freeing confession. All for freedom and living in the light habitually, in Jesus’ name.
Gospel-Preaching: To preach the gospel to each other and the world because the gospel is the righteousness of God and the power of God unto salvation, to all who believe. To receive from the divine exchange of Christ’s finished work at Calvary and minister that salvation, healing and deliverance power to others, regularly.
Fathering Families: To preach, teach and model God’s design for covenantal marriage, righteous parenting, sacred singleness, spiritual headship, sexual wholeness, freedom and purity - in Jesus’ name and by the Holy Spirit.
Fathering Culture and Society: To model bold leadership, influence and speaking out in the public space, market place, neighbourhood and region as spiritual sons, fathers, ambassadors, prophets, priests and kings.
Our Theological Foundation
Jesus and Him crucified
“God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high” Heb 1:1-3
God makes it quite clear in His word that He has only one answer to human need - His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ and Him crucified is God’s only and last New Testament sermon. Behold My Son, hear My Son, behold the Lamb of God. Believe on Him, follow Him, eat Him, drink Him, live in Him, worship Him alone. Jesus is perfect theology. Jesus is God preaching. Jesus spoke about Himself unreservedly and consistently pointed to the vitality and supremacy of His approaching death and resurrection. The Apostle Paul said he was determined to give the masses no other message save “Jesus Christ and Him crucified”. The gospel, the good news of Christ crucified and raised from the dead, is where the power of God is. The cross is the message the Holy Spirit dances and demonstrates over. The cross is the glory of God, the saving power of God, the righteousness of God and the wisdom of God.
2. The Love of the Father
“The love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Rom 5:5
The Father loves you beyond your ability to understand or perceive (Eph 3). You are the beloved, born again to be loved lavishly for the rest of eternity. Do you know that? Have you experienced the spirit of adoption by whom we cry “Abba, Daddy”? We love because He first loved us. Your primary identity is as a son. Sonship colours every other role, everything we do. You will treat yourself and others according to the way you think God feels about you. Really the most important thing about us is the first thing that comes into our minds when we think about God. Let God the Father love you, lead you and invite Him into every unloved part of you.
3. Holy Spirit Presence
‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.” Zech 4:6
God's presence is God's power and the Holy Spirit is God with us here in the earth. If a church meeting doesn't lead people into a power encounter with Jesus Christ by the Holy Spirit it is not a church meeting. We must be a people filled by and baptised in God’s Holy Spirit and fire (Luke 3:16), led by God the Holy Spirit, led into all truth by God the Spirit, gifted supernaturally by the Holy Spirit and carrying the fruit of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit always glorifies Jesus and demonstrates the finished work of the cross.
4. No longer I, but Christ
“It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me” Gal 2:20
In all God’s dealings with us, He works by taking us out of the way and substituting Christ in our place. Christ crucified is the atoning substitute for our sin, resulting in complete forgiveness, justification and gift of righteousness, freely received by faith. Christ then living through us (by our death and cross) is the substitute, deliverance and power for a victorious life, reigning with Him and in Him.
There are two substitutions: Christ’s substitution at the cross, which secures our forgiveness and Christ’s substitution within us, which secures our deliverance and victory. This love and life of Christ through surrendered vessels is normal Christianity. The Christian has been crucified with Christ, that Christ might live through him. His life is no longer his own. Though the ego protests, this is the way to grace, victory and rest. When we are least active, God is most active. God gets greatest glory when we do the least. Christ is most glorified when we are most still, because it gives room for Him.
Therefore, we exhort dying daily, taking up our cross, following Jesus. This leads to the healthy Great Co-mission - “co” because we go with Him and co-labour together. We exhort the receiving of every blessing from the gospel and also to share and preach the Gospel boldly, gladly and clearly, in the power of the Holy Spirit! You will learn to apply and receive what Christ’s finished work has accomplished for you, your friends and your family and break free from the fear and shame of publicly sharing your faith or passing the responsibility on to others.
