“2. We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
3. Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love,
and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;”
1 Thessalonians 1:2-3 (KJV)
Our mission is to encourage spiritual growth amongst brethren and spread the gospel to the whole world.
In terms of administration, it is a scriptural principle that the elder teach and lead the younger. Eldership not necessarily defined in terms of physical age, but higher spiritual maturity relative to the maturity level of the persons in the house. And because no one man has all sufficiency to administer life to the house of God, except the Lord Jesus Christ, we do not emphasize singularity of leadership, but have a plural eldership as the principal expression of the leadership of God in the assembly.
Such is the pattern we have found in scriptures, and do earnestly adhere to, knowing that we are saved by the grace of God and conforming to His pattern is what will continue to ensure our access to His presence in our midst and the outflow of His life upon us, so that as Paul mentions in Colossians 1:28, we may be able to present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.
