Our Identity

Impacting the World for Christ

21st Century Strategies is a unique group. Every consultant, program, resource, associate, and team shares a common identity embedded in the heart. This is the context within which we innovate, partner, and consult. It is the source of our integrity and the reason we have become a trusted partner for churches and Christian organizations worldwide, spanning the theological spectrum and denominational diversity of the church today.

Mission:
To prepare congregations and church leaders for mission in the 21st century by training innovative leaders with a passion to grow disciples of Christ, and by providing resources, services, and networks to equip faithful and effective Christian ministries.

Core Values:
Embedded and modeled in every member of our group.

• Teams ... instead of committees
• Accountability ... instead of control
• Servanthood ... instead of hierarchy
• Risk-taking discipleship ... instead of institutional membership

• Respect for Creator, creature, and creation
• Constant spiritual growth
• Equal emphasis on evangelism, social justice, & Christian nurture

Bedrock Beliefs:
Affirmed and articulated by every member of 21st Century Strategies.

• Jesus, fully human and fully divine, is the irrational mystery of faith that beckons all creation into living relationship with God.
• All that matters is the Gospel.
• "Become all things, to all people, that by all means, some may be rescued."
  (I Corinthians 9:22)
