We function as an evangelical outreach ministry. We focus on the unchurched in the most socially oppressed and poverty stricken neighborhoods.

We target schools by partnering with them in addressing the challenge of the most difficult student groups. With after school activities and a gospel message, we build trust and relationships as a means to introduce them to Christ.

Our teams go into depressed neighborhoods with a similar approach and through open-air preaching we spread the good news of salvation through faith.

By working together with local churches we assist them in reaching the socially diverse. Our team leaders make themselves available to work side by side to grow every church. Because we are not a church, our hope is that we can contribute in growing the Kingdom through increasing grown in all churches.

We are first Christians, second Evangelicals, and third Missional.

1. We are Christians, which distinguishes us from other world religions (e.g. Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Judaism) and cults (e.g. Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormonism). Therefore, we adhere to both the Apostles' and the Nicene Creeds.

2. We are Evangelicals and in agreement with the National Association of Evangelicals' statement of faith listed below: http://www.nae.net/index.cfm?FUSEACTION=nae.statement_of_faith

• We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
• We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
• We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
• We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
• We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
• We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
• We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ.

3. We are Missional:

• We believe that churches and Christians should be faithful to the content of unchanging Biblical doctrine (Jude 3).
• We believe that churches and Christians should continually reform their ministry methods to most effectively reach the changing cultures(s) to which they are sent by God as missionaries (1 Corinthians 9:19-23).
• We believe that Christians and churches exist for the redemption of both people and cultures in an effort to have everyone and everything subject to God.
• We believe that the continual planting of new churches is part of God's plan to reach new peoples, new cultures, and new subcultures.
