The convictions that guide us: We want what Jesus wants.
Our motive, vision, mission, values, and the demands we place on our work are rooted in the Great Commandment and the Great Commission.
Why Gospel Ambition?
In Romans 15:20, Paul describes his ambition to preach the gospel where Christ had not yet been named. That ambition helps explain our name and the work we pursue.
We want people who have not heard to encounter Jesus, and disciples to equip others to follow Him. We give the Church tools and trainings that serve that purpose. Our ambition is to fulfill the Great Commission in this generation, with you.
Romans 15:20–21
Motive: We have seen Jesus and He is with us!
Jesus Himself is our motive. His presence sustains our obedience, including through difficulty and setbacks.
Matthew 28:18–20
Vision: Fulfilling the Great Commission in this generation, with you.
We want to help people recognize their part in God’s purpose among every tongue, tribe, and nation. God sends His Church into that work.
Matthew 28:18–20 · Revelation 7:9
Mission: We multiply obedient disciples.
Jesus calls us to make disciples who obey everything He commanded. That commission applies to each new disciple, extending the work through people who help others follow Him.
Matthew 28:19–20 · Matthew 22:37–39
Our values: How we walk together.
Expectancy
We order our lives and work around confidence in God’s promises and purposes.
Revelation 7:9
Prayerful Urgency
We seek God in prayer and respond with timely obedience, remembering the brevity of our lives and His desire for people to be saved.
1 Timothy 2:1–4
Abiding Perseverance
We depend on Christ and persevere through the cost of faithful service.
John 15:4–5 · Hebrews 12:1–3
Heavenly Economy
We delight in giving away what God has freely given us, so His people can serve together.
Matthew 10:8 · Genesis 12:1–3
Walking in the Light
We seek understanding, confess sin, receive forgiveness and Christ’s cleansing, and encourage one another in the gifts God has given.
1 John 1:7–9
Our anchors: What we demand of our projects.
These convictions guide what we build, how we evaluate it, and when we change direction.
Word-Centric
Keep Scripture central. Resources should help people discover, obey, and share God’s Word.
Action-Oriented
Help people act on what Jesus commands. Test and refine the work in light of actual use.
Scalable
Create contributions others can adapt, carry farther, and use to equip still more people.
Apostolic
Pioneer where there are gaps, serving people who lack access rather than duplicating good work already being done.
Brutal Honesty
Evaluate the work candidly. Distinguish recorded activity from spiritual outcomes and change what is not serving the mission.
