NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and in mutual reliance on the covenants, conditions, representations, privileges, and obligations set forth herein, CTF [Country] and Partner agree as follows : 

2 Shared Commitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ 

Vision Statement

To be a global apostolic ministry, planting and nurturing on-fire, missional churches, and ministries, in every nation with particular focus on [Country]. 

Mission Statement

To raise up leaders of leaders, each one on fire, living in the Person, Presence and Power of God, leading a family of churches and ministries overflowing with His love and power, transforming the world. 

Core Values

Our core values are the underlying principles that guide us in making decisions, determining priorities, setting goals, allocating resources and carrying out programs. They are the defining characteristics of CTF and are drawn from biblical teachings. 

There are two directives of Jesus that we lean on for our values. The great command requires us to learn how to love God, love others and love ourselves. The great commission requires that we win souls, connect followers, disciple and send out leaders who are immersed in all aspects of the Trinity. 

We value hearing God’s Voice John 10:3-4, Hebrews 1:1-2, 1 Thessalonians 5:17, James 1:22 

Every follower of Jesus is designed to communicate with God. God speaks to us through a variety of ways and means. Our response is to listen, and in turn, talk to God through prayer, obey Him, and learn to be a doer of His Word. 

We value knowing God as Father John 14:6-13, Luke 15:11-32, Romans 8:35-38 

Experiencing God as our true Father just like Jesus did will change our lives. Every child of God needs to feel, know, and experience the unconditional, extravagant love of Father God. 

We value healing life’s hurts 2 Corinthians 7:1, 2 Corinthians 3:18, John 16:14, John 15:1, 1 Thessalonians 5:23 

Before we can truly love others, we must first love ourselves and that means allowing the Spirit of God to transform our spirit, soul, and body. Our Father is able to reveal to us issues and hurts that need healing. The Holy Spirit knows what we need to believe and receive in order to become whole. 

We value empowering in the anointing Luke 4:16-21, Luke 9:1-6, Luke 10:1-9 

The anointing is the power of the Holy Spirit for breakthroughs from poverty, brokenness, ill health, and oppression from demonic forces, that takes us into incredible favour. We desire for all to receive these breakthroughs and then to release the anointing to others. 

We value multiplication of leaders Matthew 9:35-38, Matthew 28:16-20, 2 Timothy 2:2 

Everyone can be a person of influence, a leader, a disciple for Christ. As we hear God’s voice, receive His unconditional love, deal with our issues, and receive His anointing, we become more like Jesus in character, anointing and authority. We are commissioned by Him to go out into all the world, give it away and make disciples of all nations. 

Statement of Faith

We believe there is one God who lives forever in three persons: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:19) 

We believe that the Bible is God's Word to the world, speaking to us with authority and without error. (2 Timothy 3:16-17) 

We believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ the Son, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miracles, His death for us on the cross, His bodily resurrection, His ascension to the Father, and His personal, physical return to rule the earth in power and love. (John 1:14-18; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18) 

We believe that all mankind are lost in sin and need to turn from it and trust personally in the Savior, Jesus Christ. All need to be born anew by the Holy Spirit's power into God's family. (Ephesians 2:1-10; John 3:5-7) 

We believe the Holy Spirit lives in us as believers and brings love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control into our lives. He works in and through us with His charismatic gifts. (Galatians 5:22-23; 1 Corinthians 12:7-11) 

We believe in the resurrection of every person; to eternal life for the believer and eternal judgment for the lost. (Matthew 25:31-46) We believe in unity for all believers in our Lord Jesus Christ and seek community together: we want to become more like Him in every way, who is the head of His body, the Partner. We are called to love Him and one another and are enabled to do this only as His life flows through us. (1 Corinthians 12:12-13; Matthew 22:37-40) 

We believe the Scriptures teach that marriage is the covenanting together of one man and one woman in a union to the exclusion of all others. This union is established by an authorized ceremony under God. Marriage is a unique reflection of God’s faithful love for all humankind. The relationship of husband and wife, as family, reflects the covenanting self-giving love between Christ and His Bride, the Church. The pledge of mutual faithfulness is not tentative or conditional. The permanent nature of the marriage bond gives security and promotes the development of a trusting relationship. The Church has a responsibility to care for, nurture and prayerfully support the marriage relationship and the children of the union. (Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:18; Genesis 2:24; 1 Corinthians 7:4-5; Ephesians 5:25)
