our core practices
(What We Do Daily)
As a Salt & Light community ministry, we are committed to living out the gospel in a way that transforms individuals, communities, and cultures. Rooted in the call to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world (Matthew 5:13-16), our ministry is built on foundational core practices that guide our mission, discipleship, outreach, and marketplace engagement.
Our practices are not just strategies—they are expressions of a Spirit-led lifestyle, reflecting the power (Dunamis) of God at work in and through us. By embracing these principles, we seek to cultivate a ministry that ignites transformation, fosters community, and equips believers to live missionally in every sphere of life.
Each core practice embodies our commitment to advancing God’s Kingdom through intentional discipleship, compassionate service, and marketplace influence. These practices define who we are, how we serve, and the impact we seek to make for Christ.
