Our Mission
Together as a mission base, we are on a journey of discovery to embrace family, prayer, and passionate worship of God. Through authentic community engagement, it is our desire to disciple men and women to affect change in every sphere of society for the glory of the God we love.
Our Model
Our mission base family follows an Acts 2:42-47 model for carrying out God's mission for us to the world. From our base in Downtown Carlisle in Pennsylvania and through our neighborhood network of house churches in the region, we embrace God's mission for our community.
Acts 2:42-47, " They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

What Matters to Us
Family
Family is our identity as a community. Love and honor are what make families healthy. Unity and belonging are how we desire to live as God leads us, His family, in perfect love. As sons and daughters, adopted into God's family, we are submitted to the will of our Father and are about His business. As a family, we wholeheartedly serve one another and the world around us. ( Psalms 133)
Prayer
We believe that prayer releases the heart, vision, and strategy of The Father into the world. We exist to establish a continuous altar of prayer in our city and beyond. We do this locally through the regular practice of intercessory prayer in our Tribe Churches. We do this regionally and globally by gathering with like-minded believers from other communities. ( James 5:16)
Worship
Worship is a gift from God and a powerful tool in the life of a believer to order their affections toward the lordship of Christ. Worship is not only the songs we sing, but the lives we live. We are created to worship. We do not begin or stop worshipping. Instead, humans are continuously in the act of directing their worship toward Him who is ultimate or towards lesser things. We choose to worship God and God alone.(Colossians 3:16-17)
Discovery
Freedom to learn, grow, and explore through the process of discovery, is a practice we value. We believe that exploration leads to lives of faith and adventure that will take us to places we've never been before. (Proverbs 25:2)
Discipleship
We are unapologetically on a journey to make Christ-centered and Holy Spirit-empowered disciples of Jesus who embrace the calling on their lives through discipleship and mentoring. (Matthew 28:18-20)
One New Man
The One New Man speaks of our identity and marriage as Jewish and Gentile people. Two people have become on people in Yeshua, Jesus. As a One New Man community, we celebrate and contend for the unfolding of God's plan to have a family made up of all nations, tribes, and tongues. As a family and ministry, we join hands and hearts with the original Host Peoples of Turtle Island, the American and Canadian First Nations Indians.(Ephesians 2:11-22)
