Full Circle Christian is a pathway to follow Jesus for a lifetime.
His love inspires us to repeat this cycle again and again.
We, in turn, invest our lives in bringing others
into the great circle of His perfect love.
The way we think about, understand and follow the Bibles teachings will rebuild us
from the inside out. If we construct our lives upon these theological components,
they will be the infrastructure out of which our attitudes and actions flow. Full
Circle Christian creates a blueprint for being completely reconciled to God through
His Son, Jesus Christ. He wants to restore us to the Imago Dei or to His original
design through the Person and the Power of the Holy Spirit. Someday, we will
realize that this building we live in is not a permanent structure. It was a tent, for
a pilgrimage, to prepare us to live in His eternal presence and serve in His eternal
Kingdom.

We may be doing all the right things in ministry, but where is it getting us? Pruned and purified
people must be cultivated in a greenhouse of full circle Christian discipleship where perfect love
becomes a passionate re-production!
How can we ensure that entire sanctification, as an EVENT and a JOURNEY, is understood?
The Sanctifier, with all of His fruit, gifts and gracings, must be embraced, experienced and
expressed by our people and our congregations. Can we recalibrate ministry so that His
Kingdom will continue to come and be fulfilled through this historical movement called
Holiness?
If I embrace Gods Saving Grace, both as an EVENT and a JOURNEY, He will launch a salvation or
a reclamation of my whole being.
If I embrace Gods Sanctifying Grace, both as an EVENT and a JOURNEY, He will continually
perfect, or complete me, the with the fruit, and the gifts and the graces of His Holy Spirit,
so that my life is set apart for His service.
The Disciple-Maker modeled and mentored how to be a Full Circle Christian. Our task, as
pastors and leaders, is to create opportunities: BRIDGES, WINDOWS and DOORS, for people to
come and go full circle as followers of Jesus Christ. Then our people will be reproducing others
who know how to do the same!
Jesus expectation was that His followers would be able to come and go full circle
within a very short time. We CAN create a spiritual culture that ensures and empowers
todays Christians to do the same? YES?

Full Circle Christian is a comprehensive Ministry Strategy that can be used in part or whole to build believers of
Jesus Christ into Disciples-Making-Disciples. The vision is to:
Transmit the Gospel and Holy Living to the Nations
By creating, testing and delivering Culturally Relevant Holiness Tools
By seeking out and raising up people, called of God, to create, test and deliver Culturally Relevant Holiness
Tools
By launching Culturally Relevant Holiness Ministries

Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how
can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can
anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!Rom.10:13 - 15 NIV.
