Our Unifying Essentials…What We Believe


Our Commitments

The Aaron Ministries Network, consisting of team members, network members and network churches, are committed to certain "core essentials".

 

Essential Equippers - Necessary Graces

"And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ..." (Ephesians 4: 11-12).

 

We recognize that God has given different leaders unique graces for building up of the body of Christ. We recognize and honour one another and the different gifts given to build up the body of Christ. The local church and the broader body of Christ are designed to receive assistance from the variety of gifts to enlarge the work that God desires to do in our midst. We bless the team approach as our different gifts extend God's grace into the regions in which we are called to work. We are committed to the fact that we need others beyond ourselves to effectively lead our ministries into God's intended harvest.

 

Essential Ministers - God's People

"And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ... (Ephesians 4: 11-12).
God has given every believer unique abilities designed to have kingdom impact in the world. Those who associate with Aaron ministries are committed to seeing every believer, all of God's children, stand up and fulfill the plan that He has for their lives. As leaders, we work together to see God's people advance in their personal calling.

 

Essential Doctrines - Unity of the Faith

"...until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ" (Ephesians 4: 13).
Aaron Ministries Network recognizes that there are many doctrines that are important to church leaders and that create denominational uniqueness and diversity. In Aaron, we differentiate between essentials and non- essentials. The essentials are the basis for Christian unity. The non-essentials, those which demonstrate our uniqueness and diversity, permit us to demonstrate our love and commitment to one another. When we stand together on the essentials, we have chosen to put Christ at the centre of our relationships and to work together to see the kingdom of God manifested in our communities, nation and world.

 

In summary, Aaron Ministries Network is committed to:

Unity in the Essentials, Liberty in Non-Essentials, Love in all things.

 

Essential doctrines

  1. THE WORD OF GOD as originally given by God, divinely inspired, entirely trustworthy; and the only supreme authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
  2. ONE GOD, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  3. ONE LORD JESUS CHRIST, our Saviour, God manifested in the flesh, His virgin birth, His sinless human life, His divine miracles, His bodily resurrection, His ascension, His mediatorial work and substitutionary death, and His personal return in power and glory.
  4. THE SALVATION of the lost and sinful people through the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ by faith apart from works, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit.
  5. THE HOLY SPIRIT by whose indwelling the believer is enabled to live a holy life to live and work for the Lord Jesus Christ.
  6. THE UNITY in the Spirit of all true believers, the Body of Christ; visible in gathered communities and in co-operative mission.
  7. THE RESURECTION of both the saved and the lost; they that are saved unto the resurrection of life, and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.

Essential Congregations

"... and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the day drawing near".  Hebrews 10:24-25


Whether large or small, congregations are essential for our individual growth and our ability to hold the harvest

 

All Aaron Ministries board members and E4 team members are in healthy relationship with a local church. Regardless of personal giftedness, no one will be considered part of the team and formally acknowledged as an Aaron Ministries Team member unless they first have proven their faithfulness to God's plan for the local Church.
