Acts 29: A Clarification

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Scott Thomas, who I had the pleasure of both meeting and conversing with in Orlando at the NNCC and at Universal Studios, recently posted a great article on Acts 29’s site about what the network is not. Usually, Scott (director of A29) is busy making sure that the network is working towards what it is: a Gospel-preaching, Christ-centered church planting network. But because of recent accusations towards the network from a various amount of sources, he has had to clear up what they are not. Read the article here: Seven Misrepresentations of Acts29

Our Values: The Gospel

Monday, April 30th, 2007

The Gospel

  • This is why we exist, and what we will cling to. The Gospel will pervade every aspect of the church, from structure to message. Everything we do will be compared with the Gospel, and then evaluated in its light.


What will it look like if the value is expressed?

  • Every time teaching is given within the church body, the Gospel shall be articulated and expounded upon. Not only will non-Christians come to rely on the Gospel for salvation, but Christians will also come to realize that without the Cross and Resurrection of Christ, nothing is possible. If anything that we do as a community contradicts the Gospel of Christ, it will be dismantled immediately. Redemption will be a “family trait”, with the community seeing lives changed as we live out the Gospel in the central part of Greenville.

We exist for one purpose: to glorify, exalt, and otherwise make famous the name, person, and Kingdom of Jesus Christ.
