Core Values

I want to take a moment to share a bit more about our team and what we are striving for as we all serve here in Mbarara.
Currently, our team is made up of 9 (soon to be 10) adults from the US, England, and Northern Ireland. Some lead Bible studies for university students, others teach in secondary and primary schools, some focus on discipling and pouring into the lives of young Ugandans, one teammate is a physiotherapist in the hospital, and others are involved in teaching better farming techniques and agriculture skills. Although we are all serving in very different areas of ministry all over the city and surrounding areas, each of us is striving toward the fulfillment of the same vision and goal.

Our team vision statement is this:
“Christ-centered churches planting and building Christ-centered churches with a focus on discipleship unto missions.”
We are working with Christ-centered churches to help them plant and/or build up Christ-centered churches. In that, we focus on discipleship with an aim for indigenous missions – raising and sending out missionaries into the community and into the world!

Our team also has five core values that are taken into consideration in every ministry and in every person that is recruited for the Mbarara team.
  • Church-Centered: Serving and supporting the leadership of the local church and functioning as a part of the Body of Christ.
  • Discipleship: Developing knowledge, character, and skills in the lives of those we disciple.
  • Grace-Centered: Recognizing redemption through the work of Christ in our words and actions.
  • Indigenous Missions: Casting a vision for and creating church sent missionaries to plant Christ-centered churches.
  • Transformational Development: Creating sustainable and reproducible, holistic ministries by being lifelong learners and servant leaders. 
Only God would think to bring together the people on our team! We all come from unique backgrounds and have a wide variety of skills sets, talents, and passions. I'm grateful to be part of a team that upholds such God-glorifying standards in ministry here, and I'm honored to be working alongside others who are committed to seeing God's Kingdom come and His will done in Uganda!
