We affirm microchurch as the most basic expression of the church and therefore, our ecclesiology is simple. When believers work together in sincere worship and genuine community to accomplish a part of the mission of God, they are the church. Therefore, worship, community and mission are the ecclesial minimum. We encourage biblically appointed leadership, sacramental worship, pursuit of the gifts of the Spirit, and generous giving, but these are not required to be considered a micro-church. We believe that these churches also need the larger network, leadership and resources of a city wide church to strengthen, empower and help direct the micro-church expression. We gather as leadership for worship and training primarily to strengthen the micro-churches in their labor as they obey Jesus and proclaim the good news of the Kingdom to their mission field. We believe any and all larger church expressions exist to serve the smaller and not the other way around.
