FPG Partner Core Values
FPG Partners are identified, qualified, and evaluated based upon these Core Values.
- Next Generation – FPG Partners are motivated by Jesus and His great commission (Matt 28:18-20). They operate in a personal calling by God to next generation ministry. They are partnering with FPG in a covenant partnership with shared vision, strategy, and resources.
- Empowering – As Next Generation leaders, FPG Partners must be equippers and empowerers young leaders. They will use their anointed gifts and roles to build up others, aka the Body (Eph 4:12). Just as Christ modeled with His disciples, they will be multipliers of messengers and ministers of the Gospel. They must not only be able to operate in their own giftings and platforms, they must be able to “pass the mic.”
- “Plans don’t work, People work.” – This slogan recognizes our FPG Partners must be self-motivated as unto the Lord (Col 3:23); self-managing, diligent, reliable, and entrepreneurial. All plans and strategies work on paper, but only the faithful efforts and unique gifts of people that bring them to life.
- Humility – Let there be a clear attitude of humility among all FPG team members and partners. Jesus’ example of humility will be our standard (Phil 2, Eph 5:1-2).
- Family – We serve each other as Children of God, brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. We love, honor, and submit to one another beyond work (John 13:24, Romans 12:10, 1 Cor 16:16, Eph 4:2, Gal 6:2). We value healthy relationships and communication as members and representatives of God’s family and His family values.
- International First / Local First – All ministry is local. FPG Partners will value the experiences and cultures of where we do ministry. Ownership is essential for healthy and sustainable implementation. The FPG strategies can be localized and customized to meet the needs of the local church and local young people.
Denominational Affiliation
FPG is a multi-denominational. We believe in unity of the Body out of obedience to Christ (John 15, 1 Cor 1:10) and a shared commitment to the Great Commission (Matt 28). We recognize and value the faithfulness and contributions of many protestant leaders and denominations. Theology that brings God glory should bring a spirit of humility and love, not superiority and self-righteousness. We believe that we can work cooperatively with many leaders and denominations while respecting differences in non-essential doctrines.
Partnership with FPG does not require adherence to specific denominational affiliations. Each potential partnership will be prayerfully evaluated on an individual basis, guided by discernment through the Holy Spirit and in alignment with our Core Values and Statement of Faith.
