To be a spirit empowered church multiplication movement in which every church is strategically involved
Where does that come from?
Acts 1:8 -
Christ told us that the advancement of the Kingdom would be empowered by the Holy Spirit
What does all that mean?
Spirit empowered - Apart from God we will accomplish nothing of lasting value.Strong, healthy, vital church plants are only the result of the work of the Holy Spirit, through people who are responsive and faithful (John 15:5).
Multiplication Movement - We could continue to add churches throughout our landscape but we desire to be a movement of churches that multiplies healthy churches which radically impact the landscape.
Every church - Church planting is not something the district office does but something we as the Central District churches of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, do.It takes every church to make the vision a reality (Phil 1:27b).
Strategically involved - As individuals and churches become involved and invest in this church multiplication movement, we must be strategic, and intentional.
We value
1 – Making disciples of those separated from Christ
2 – Prayerful dependence upon Christ
3 - Spirit initiated and empowered kingdom advancement
4 – Assessing, equipping, and empowering planters and leaders
5 - CMA DNA which involves a Christo-centric message,
Spirit empowered living and glocal impact
6 - Kingdom advancing partnerships with all that share our values
7 – Multiplication of churches, leaders and disciples
8 – Creativity in methods, models and impact
9 – Faith filled risk in efforts to advance the kingdom
