Values in Practice

Our convictions are not ideas we admire; they are values we practice. The Household of Faith Network measures faithfulness not by statements alone, but by how decisions are made and relationships are stewarded.

Christ at the Center

• No single leader, church, or voice sets the direction for all others
• Major decisions are approached prayerfully and relationally, not strategically
• Christ’s Lordship is discerned together through Scripture, prayer, and counsel

Local Church First

• Decisions prioritise the health and faithfulness of local congregations
• No church is asked to divert resources away from its local mission to serve the network
• Churches are encouraged to remain rooted, not replicated

Relationship Over Results

• We move at the speed of trust, not ambition
• Disagreement is handled through conversation, not policy
• Depth of relationship is valued above numerical outcomes

Cooperation Without Control

• Participation is voluntary, not enforced
• Authority remains local; alignment remains shared
• Churches are free to follow the Spirit’s leading without pressure to conform

Kingdom Witness

• We partner across contexts to serve communities together when possible
• Unity is expressed through love, not uniformity
• Our life together aims to make Christ visible to the world.
