ORGANIZING PRINCIPLES

The following are the key principles that form the foundation of The Adoni Spiritual Formation
Center.  In essence, they are the principles that comprise “The Adoni Concept” and will be
reflected in everything we do:
We will use the Bible as the source of our beliefs and practices:  When confronted
with issues, we will use the Bible as the primary source for guidance and
discernment regarding what we should think and do.

We are a theocracy, not a democracy:  God is the ultimate leader of everything we
do.  Our goal is to please God, not the masses.

We will operate based on Spirit-led unity, not majority rule:  As much as possible,
decisions at all levels of The Adoni Spiritual Formation Center will be made based on
the principle of Spirit-led unity, where everyone involved agrees before an action is
taken, rather than by majority rule.

We have disciples, not members:  People are called to be disciples, i.e. people who
listen to and follow the teachings of Christ, not church members.  Those who get
involved with our work will be referred to as disciples, not members of the church.

We will emphasize spiritual growth and development as a part of everything we
do:  Everything we do is an opportunity to deepen our relationship with God and to
allow our relationship with God to make a difference in what we do.  The idea of
Immanuel, i.e. God with us, will be emphasized at all times and in all that we do.

We will emphasize holistic ministry:  Our ministry will emphasize God’s role in
dealing with each person physically, spiritually, and emotionally.  Every aspect of our
lives is an area where God is both concerned and at work.

We will engage in aggressive ministry any time, any place, and by any one:  We
will create an environment that enables people to engage in ministry regardless of
when or where the ministry is needed.  In addition, everyone will be empowered to do
ministry in our name.

We will engage in communal worship on Sunday and spiritual growth and ministry
throughout the rest of the week:  Worship can happen at anytime and with any
number of people, but Sunday morning is our time to worship as a community of
disciples.  Monday through Saturday will be the time for individual and family worship
apart from our community and the time for The Adoni Spiritual Formation Center to
emphasize disciplines that lead to spiritual growth and the practice of ministry.

Each disciple will be involved in a spiritual formation group and at least 1 ministry,
but no more than 2:  As a critical part of each disciple’s spiritual growth, each disciple
will become involved with a spiritual formation group and in at least 1 ministry.  No
disciple should be involved in more than 2 ministries.

We will make Christian education a part of everything we do:  Everything we do will
serve as a venue for Christian education.  If God, Christ, and the Spirit are at work in
everything, then everything will present us with an opportunity to learn more about God.
WELCOME!
