Ø       We commit to stewarding God’s mission, entrusted to us, as we bring His vision into reality–which means we:  

·        Acknowledge God as the ultimate owner of our congregation and respond to His call to join his mission as stewards.

·        Align our decision-making processes, at all levels of activity, to better reflect our role as stewards of God’s household.

·        Trust and honor others in the congregation with behavior that reflects our Christian values because we know that God first calls his disciples and then supplies whatever gifts are necessary.

·       Enact the revised infrastructure (constitution, bylaws, elder/deacon model) to help reduce KOG’s emphasis on “church membership” and increases its emphasis on “church discipleship.”

·       Recommit to the congregation’s ministry by effecting an annual covenantal relationship.

·        Invest, individually, a greater commitment of time, talent and wealth within KOG’s ministry to better steward God’s mission. 

Ø       We commit to developing and conveying a “front porch” attitude that welcomes and equips individuals to become fully-devoted disciples of Christ – which means we:  

·        Attract, welcome and then equip others so they better can discern God’s call to become fellow stewards of His mission.

·        Increase the number of small group opportunities within the congregation and support their vitality.

·        Reach out to those in the community by hosting a variety of ways to teach the stewarding model of ministry.

·        Accentuate the importance of worship.

·        Attend and/or provide ministry workshops, seminars, and leadership opportunities to help deepen our understanding of God’s mission.

·        Recognize KOG’s Preschool as a blessing and opportunity to grow and equip more disciples by integrating the school more intentionally into the congregation.  

Ø       We commit to becoming the “church without walls” by implementing the Great Commandment and the Great Commission and embrace the five purposes of the church – which means we: 

·         Honor God by allowing his love to flow through us, “being” the church 24/7, wherever we are and in whatever we are doing.

·         Conduct local mission projects (rehab, repair, clean-up, etc.).

·         Support those who are unemployed.

·         Make available personal/family financial planning and budgeting education.

·         Deliver and support study groups and worship opportunities, off-site.

·         Promote parenting classes.
