Mission Statement and Values

Mission Statement

We exist to honor God by establishing Christ-centered, Spirit-empowered, socially responsible churches and campus ministries in every nation.

Every Nation Tallahassee Values

Lordship

We value obedience.

Because Jesus is “King of kings and Lord of lords,” we believe that wholehearted submission to God’s will and His Word is the starting point of the Christian faith and the foundation of all spiritual growth.

Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, so walk in Him… Colossians 2:6

Evangelism

We value lost people.

Because God’s heart is to reach the lost, we seek to build churches primarily through evangelism—not transfer, through birth—not adoption.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 ‘

“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:10

Discipleship

We value spiritual growth.

Because we are called to make disciples by training and equipping the saints for the work of the ministry, our primary focus is ministering to people, not conducting meetings, administering programs, or building buildings.

11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up. Ephesians 4:11-12

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (29) teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20

Leadership

We value leadership development.

Because we are called to raise up leaders in all spheres of influence in society, we prioritize leadership training and deliberately create opportunities for all generations of people to develop and use their gifts in service to our Lord.

…and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.
2 Timothy 2:2

Family

We value long-term relationships.

Because family is the foundation and validation for all ministry, we refuse to sacrifice our marriages and our children on the altars of temporal success. And because we believe God has called us to be a spiritual family that represents every nation, we reject the idea of disposable relationships and choose to walk in love, respect, and unity while celebrating our ethnic diversity.

Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain… (3) Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Psalm 127:1, 3

Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him. 2 You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours. 3 Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around your table. 4 Yes, this will be the blessing for the man who fears the Lord. Psalm 128:1-4

After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. Revelation 7:9

…eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Ephesians 4:3
