Cultivates Deep Spirituality

The power of the Gospel brings transformation from the inside out. There is no dichotomy between Sunday and everyday life, church and the workplace. The Antioch church was a model church to non-believers so powerfully that the disciples were named “Christians” for the first time:

“For a whole year they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians.”

Acts 11:26

Christian meant ‘follower of Christ’ or ‘imitator of Christ.’ When the non-believers saw the disciples’ godly lifestyles, it was so evident to them that God was active and working both within the lives of the disciples and the community as a whole. The members of the Antioch church were not simply attendees but they each became a church on the move. And it was through their genuine faith and deep spirituality that the church was able to make such a great impact for God’s Kingdom. God is calling each one of us to become the church wherever we are each day.
