We are connected by kingdom values.
As a family, we are bound together by a deep sense of shared values that shape our lives and guide our decisions. These values are not just words, but the principles that we hold dear and are willing to defend with our very lives, without ever compromising.
Knowing God the Father through His Son Jesus Christ and living by His Word is the foundation of life.
We believe that the basis of the Christian faith is to know God through repentance for sin, receiving Jesus Christ as Lord, building an intimate relationship with Him and being conformed into His image. God has declared us righteous through faith in Jesus Christ.
It is essential for every believer to be baptized with the Holy Spirit and be completely dependent on Him.
We recognize that we desperately need the person, presence and power of the Holy Spirit to minister effectively in our generation. We believe it is essential for every believer to be baptized with the Holy Spirit and to pursue spiritual gifts. All decisions need to be made by listening to the Holy Spirit as we make prayer a priority and learn to be worshippers.
The Great Commission will be completed through prayer, evangelism, discipleship, and church planting.
We are committed to helping fulfill the Great Commission through prayer and fasting, evangelism, discipleship and church planting locally, nationally and internationally. We are also called to proclaim the gospel through the arts, publications, and the media.
We deeply value the sacred covenant of marriage and the importance of training our children to know Christ.
It is our belief that marriage is between one man and one woman. Both marriage and family are instituted by God, and healthy, stable families are essential for the church to be effective in fulfilling its mission.
We are committed to spiritual families, spiritual parenting and intergenerational connections.
Believing that our God is turning the hearts of the fathers and mothers to the sons and daughters in our day, we are committed to spiritual parenting on every level of church and ministry life. Participation in a small group is a fundamental commitment to the DOVE family.
Spiritual multiplication and reproduction must extend to every sphere of kingdom life and ministry.
Multiplication is expected and encouraged in every sphere of church life. Small groups should multiply into new small groups and churches should multiply into new churches. Church planting must be a long-term goal of every congregation.
Relationships are essential in building God's kingdom.
Serving others and building trust and relationships is a desired experience in every area of church life. We are joined together primarily by God-given family relationships, not by organization, hierarchy, or bureaucracy.
Every Christian is both a priest and a minister.
Every believer is called of God to minister to others and needs to be equipped for this work. Fivefold ministers are the Lord's gifts to His church to help equip each believer to become an effective minister.
A servant's heart is necessary for every leader to empower others.
We believe every sphere of leadership needs to include a clear servant-leader called by God and a team who is called to walk together. Leaders are called to walk in humility and integrity, in the fruit of the Spirit, and in the fear of the Lord.
Biblical prosperity, generosity and integrity are essential to kingdom expansion.
Biblical prosperity is God's plan to help fulfill the Great Commission. We believe in generously giving offerings to support individuals, churches, and ministries both inside and outside of the DOVE family.
The gospel compels us to send missionaries to the unreached and help those least able to meet their own needs.
Jesus instructs us to take the gospel to the ends of the earth to those who have never heard. We are also called to help the poor and needy, those in prison, orphans and widows.
We are called to build the kingdom together with the entire body of Christ.
Our focus is on the kingdom of God. We are called to link together with other groups in the body of Christ and pursue unity in His church as we reach the world together.
Are these the values you want to build with?
We serve church leaders, apostolic pioneers, and ministries across Europe who share a heart for prayer, evangelism, and discipleship. Let's start a conversation about walking together.
