TO PROMOTE INTERACTION

To promote interaction and relationship between like-minded ministries (Romans 12:5). To provide a context in which isolated ministers may experience a defined relationship and larger identity (Ephesians 4:16). To have a Body Ministry Fellowship, allowing and encouraging ministers to flow with the anointing of the Holy Spirit in order to grow and develop the ministry of God on their lives.

  • To spread the doctrine of Jesus Christ throughout the world, to foster and encourage domestic and foreign missions, to draw together ministries that will form apostolic teams for worldwide impact (Acts 13:1-3).
  • To be available to pastors and local church elders to help mediate church-related problems at their request (Proverbs 11:14).
  • To serve as an arbitrator in matters with regard to SAINT ZOE PARISH CHURCH ministers pertaining questionable behavior when deemed necessary (Titus 1:10,13).
  • To provide a forum where present truths can be pursued, encouraged, examined and judged in the light of the Holy Scriptures (II Peter 1:12; I Timothy 4:13; Acts 15:2).
  • To sponsor annual gatherings for mutual strengthening, deeper relationships and spiritual challenges (Hebrews 10:25).

Our conviction is that in exalting the Scriptures, we are exalting Jesus Christ who is the Living Word.The Bible Training Programs will also provide teaching and development to those who would be led of the Holy Spirit to build Holy Spirit anointed churches with a vision to save those who are lost and without Christ.
