Starting October 4th, 2009 Kaleo will explore the letter to the 7 churches in the book of Revelation. From Tim Cain who will be preaching this series at the Linda Vista and El Cajon.

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
