OUR PURPOSE
Be The Church is a leadership engine developed to fuel church growth that was birthed in 2020 out of a global pandemic and government shutdowns. What started years ago as conversations and dreams of uniting local pastors and churches was instantly galvanized into a modern movement. From its beginning, the heart of Be The Church has been to unite local churches and pastors together to see communities around the world transformed by the gospel. When churches partner together to develop spiritual leaders, connecting like-hearted and like-minded followers of Jesus, they fuel a spiritual awakening across our culture.
UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO THE GOSPEL
OUR VALUES
Gospel message: The gospel to be central in all things.
The good news of what God has done through Jesus Christ to redeem humanity is the CENTRAL aim of a healthy church. The gospel is the source of salvation for humanity. It is also what sustains the work of ministry for all believers. We never move beyond our need of the gospel and because of that reality, we desire to see all people transformed by the gospel.
Gospel mandate: Disciples advancing the gospel at all costs.
The mandate given to the followers of Jesus is to GO and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Healthy churches will leverage all their resources to making disciples of Jesus Christ by building discipleship strategies.
Gospel multiplication: Gospel-centered communities multiply.
The gospel is the source of salvation and what sustains a disciple-making movement. We desire to build sustainable and scalable structures that give rise to a movement of churches and leaders that make disciples and advance the kingdom in every corner of this world. A multiplication mindset is essential in helping reach communities, cities, and the world with the gospel.
STRONG LEADERSHIP IS VITAL
Kingdom advancement depends on strong spiritual leadership for sustainable church growth.
