Our Core Values

1. Everything we do must point people to the Lordship of Jesus.

• Truth of the Word leads people to the One who is Truth
• We must deepen people’s relationship with Jesus, not make them dependent upon us
• See people and situations through eyes of faith

2. Powerhouse homes flow in the power of the Holy Spirit.

• After believers are born-again, there is a second, distinct experience in which the Holy Spirit empowers believers (Acts 1:8)
• The power of the Holy Spirit changes the believer from within (Fruit of the Spirit) and flows out through the believer (Gifts of the Spirit)
• Lasting change comes spiritually, not intellectually

3. Marriage is a covenant relationship.

• It reflects the covenant relationship between Jesus and the Church
• Each covenant partner agrees to be faithful no matter what the other one does
• It is unconditional
• It is until death

4. Marriage between a man and a woman is the basis for God’s plan for family.

• God intends for family to produce healthy sons and daughters in the image of their Father
• All aspects of family life flow from and relate back to the marriage relationship
• Addressing family issues must include developing a healthy marriage

5. We are to make disciples of all nations.

• Discipling is more than disseminating information
• Discipling includes training, modeling and accountability – modeling is a transparent demonstration of process rather than perfection in the lives of the disciplers
• Discipling is based in relationship

6. We are to produce fruit with the seed of reproducibility.

• We are all to bear fruit and multiply
• Our role in the earth is to give to others what God gives to us
• Although gifts and talents of people vary, others must be able to duplicate each model produced
• Everyone who ministers in MMI should be making disciples at the same time

7. When a couple marries, their individual call and destiny are blended together.

• Both husband and wife are equally called of God
• We are responsible to seek out those who will disciple us in our call
• Each spouse needs to respect, honor, and nurture the gifts and talents of the other
• Couples need to be taught how to blend their gifts and talents to equip them in the synergism of a one-flesh team

8. Homes are points of outreach to a lost world.

• Marriage and family reflect God’s relationship to His Church
• 2=1 leaders are ordinary couples demonstrating the power of God in our homes, jobs, and lives
• We are to teach couples how to reach their neighborhoods, communities, and other spheres of influence

9. God views families generationally.

• Decisions and actions of one generation affect successive ones
• One generation has the power in Jesus to stop generational curses
• One generation has the ability to perpetuate blessings generationally
• Christians must think and plan generationally

10. We are an army.

• We have an objective and a mission
• We need to honor spiritual authority to be in spiritual authority
• We need to recognize and honor the different roles of those serving in the army
• We must be dedicated to fighting until we see victory manifested
• We are not individual soldiers who get to pick and choose with whom, when and where we will serve
