In relation to God’s Word, Kaleo seeks to be a Gospel-centered church. A Gospel-Centered Church is committed to:
- Reading the whole Bible as the Gospel (Luke 24 hermeneutic)
- Preaching and teaching the Gospel to believers, not just unbelievers
- Preaching and teaching the Gospel in every sermon and every lesson
- Seeing the Gospel as the “milk” and “meat” of God’s Word
- Studying theology/doctrine to better understand the Gospel, not simply for more facts
- Viewing the world, the church, and ourselves through the lens of the Gospel
In relation to God’s church (ourselves), Kaleo seeks to be a grace-renewal church. A Grace-Renewal Church is committed to:
- Being renewed by grace every moment
- Becoming “new” people, not just “nice” people
- Believing the Gospel can change anyone, including ourselves
- Motivating others with grace, not guilt
- Solving all problems (personal, familial, church, social) with the Gospel
- Learning how the Gospel changes us and others (transformation vs. reformation)
- Loving others through the Gospel
- Community that seeks to “gospel” one another in love
In relation to God’s world, Kaleo seeks to be a missional church. A Missional Church is committed to:
- Living in mission “for” the city in which God has sovereignly placed us
- Learning to speak the language of our culture to make the Gospel as clear as possible
- Listening to people and their ’stories’
- Being a community that is counter-cultural rather than merely a Christian sub-culture
- Working in such a way that we live out the Gospel in our work and recreation
- Demonstrating the unity of church in our city
- Showing off the beauty of the Gospel by helping others in need through acts of mercy and generosity
- Seeing every believer in Christ as a missionary
- Understanding the flow of history is the activity of our missional God at work restoring all things to himself by His Gospel (Luke 24)
- Structuring every ministry with a missionl texture towards the world for the sake of the lost
