to be disciples of jesus is to shine light to the marginalized and oppressed by engaging disciple church in global action
Values
As we work to achieve our vision, disciple church Global Team will strive to:
- Balance "good news and good works" desiring to share the love of Jesus while at the same meeting the physical and emotional needs of those we serve
- Focus our energy and efforts prayerfully and strategically to a few areas vs. spreading ourselves thin by taking on too many projects
- Seek to be culturally sensitive, loving, and respectful within the various cultures that we serve
- Embrace the values of both people and projects: organizing projects and events as a means for education and action and "sending" those called to overseas global missions work
- Value sustainability, giving our time and resources toward projects that will help lift people out of their circumstances vs enabling them to continue in any unhealthy cycles they may be caught in
- Seek humility, recognizing that serving the marginalized and oppressed in our world is not about how great we are, but about how good God is and about our call to honor and reflect Him in all we do
- Use creativity and innovation to cast vision and engage the community in global initiatives and projects
- Partner with and support existing missional organizations and non-profits to help further the work they do, as well as to reach out to and support non-profit staff and volunteers
