Our Model

We encourage our graduates who serves as pastors and elder to implement membership limits in their churches. When these limits are reached, we advocate the establishment of a sister church instead of expanding into a larger congregation.

Multiple services can often feel like multiple churches, which can be confusing and disorienting for members. We advocate for one gathering where all members attend together, creating a sense of ecclesiastical unity and shared experience.

We discourage children’s or age-segregated ministries that gather separately during the Lord’s Day assembly. Instead, we encourage families to worship together.

We advocate for the vocal abilities of the congregation, rather than relying on a band that can overpower their voices. Although we do not prohibit the use of instruments, we encourage their modest use.

We advocate for a weekly, post-assembly fellowship meal where members cab experience the deep sense of connection and love that so clearly seen among Christians in the Scriptures.

As an effort to guard against the temptation to compromise difficult truths or congregational admonishments in favor of financial supporters, we advocate for pastors and elders to hold a second vocation.

We advocate for a ratio of one elder per ten member families. Each member will be assigned to a specific elder and deacon group to ensure that all receive adequate pastoral care.

We advocate for churches to host weekly men’s and women’s meetings overseen by pastoral staff. These gatherings serve as spaces for fellowship, prayer, and instruction.

We advocate for regular and weekly hospitality among the members of the congregation. Including house-to-house dinners, lunches, coffee meetings, play dates with children, and other activities that foster a stronger bond between the members.

We advocate for private, in-person gatherings and do not offer live streaming to the general public.
