SUMMARY
First-Love Ministries partners and affiliates will submissively strategize and join with like-minded churches and ministries to expand Christ's Kingdom. Some individuals and ministries will operate directly under the oversight of local churches. Other ministers will be accountable to ministry oversight teams that serve local churches, including First-Love strategy teams throughout the country. As a network of ministries, we will work in humility with one another, in reverence for the Lord and with respect and kindness towards those outside our network.
We will also respect and be peaceful with any that disagree with any or all of our cooperative functions. As a network of ministers, we will link up with other ministries that already carry out the actions needed to fulfill the functions described in the Goals and Actions Statements.
If these goals and actions are implemented on a broad scale, American believers' lives will be profoundly transformed and great unity with uncompromised biblical truth will be attained. The knowledge and appreciation of God's grace will allow the Body of Christ in America to grow into "a perfect man," experiencing the fullness of Christ's maturity as sons and daughters of God. Then the Bride of Christ (the Body of Christ) will be more fully revealed to a world that desperately needs the same Bridegroom! (Ephesians 4:13)
As these goals are realized, we believe that many will walk as Jesus walked in the loving kindness, power, signs and wonders of the Holy Spirit. And in turn, many of those touched through these lives will be sent out to minister the same life-changing Gospel to countless others. (Matt. 24:13)
