ADVANCE MOVEMENT

WHAT IS ADVANCE?

As a global family of churches, we know that we are better together in gospel partnership. While God primarily works through the local church, partnering allows us to more effectively reach the ends of the earth for Jesus.

To achieve New Testament results, we follow New Testament practices, united around the pillars of our partnership; Doctrine & Values, Shared Mission, Genuine Relationship, and Suitably Gifted Leadership.

The gospel advances both towards reaching the ends of the earth and the depths of our hearts. Our commitment is to plant and strengthen churches towards this end, fostering both maturity and mission through partnership (2 Corinthians 8:23, Philippians 1:3-5). This is because planting more churches is one of the most effective ways to reach the lost and make disciples. We hope to grow vibrant, healthy local churches as per the pattern set forth in the New Testament. The churches we plant and strengthen are Gospel-Centered, Disciple-Making, Spirit-Empowered, Missional, and Elder-Led.

With a footprint in more than 25 nations across the globe, our churches vary in size and location from small, rural communities to large cities, but our shared goal remains the same: to see healthy, multiplying churches established worldwide.

With gospel ambition, we trust that God would use us to plant and strengthen many more churches in the years ahead.  We are committed to honouring God’s Word and moving at the pace of family, always dependent on the Holy Spirit’s empowering presence. We have faith to see the Advance family grow to 500+ churches in 50+ nations, with a desire to see an additional 10 multiplying base churches in strategic regions.
